Medical Outreaches
A full day of free care, in communities that have no health facility.
Pillar
Health
Physical, mental and systemic wellbeing. We provide care where there is none, and work toward the systems that would make our visits unnecessary.
The need
Kunyami has no health facility. For the people who live there, care has meant travelling elsewhere or going without.
The same pattern repeats along the corridor. Children swim in a river that carries schistosomiasis. Teachers have untreated high blood pressure. Undernutrition in one school we screened was five times more common among boys than girls.
Our approach
We run free outreaches in communities without facilities, screen children in schools, and follow referred cases through to treatment. We also train community members to carry health knowledge themselves.
We do not treat an outreach as finished on the day. Identifying a case takes a morning; following it through to recovery takes months.
