WHAT WE DO
Quality Healthcare For Those In Need
OUR GOAL: to ensure that all people in need have access to quality health care and improved health practices in their community.
The Challenge:
Most rural families around the world are poor and in need of quality healthcare–they have little income and little hope. Healthcare is simply not an option, either because it does not exist or it is completely unaffordable.
If there is any possibility for poor families to have access to healthcare, it is often through government-run hospitals, many of which have few resources and are chronically understaffed. At these facilities, each patient must buy all the materials needed for his or her surgery or medical care and, as necessary medical items are expensive, problems often do not get repaired.
Because there is little to no healthcare available, many suffer and die from conditions that can be easily prevented using cost-effective interventions and common health practices.
AT A GLANCE
In poor, rural villages around the world, there is little to no healthcare available to the people. Many suffer and die from easily preventable conditions.
We invest in the development and delivery of interventions that can be used by families and health workers in low-resource settings to improve the survival and health of those in need.
The Opportunity:
We bring hope and healing to rural communities by providing access to quality healthcare. Each year, we reach more and more people to provide life-changing surgeries and high quality medical services. Through the development and delivery of high-impact medical interventions and sustainable healthcare, we’re changing the world.
Sustainable healthcare requires a plan–our trained medical staff identifies local needs and works with the local government, as well as local healthcare professionals, to establish initiatives that make a lasting difference. From training local healthcare personnel to providing local communities with medical equipment and tools, we leave a legacy that extends for years–and even generations.
Our Strategy:
Whether traveling to rural communities in developing countries, or earthquake-ravaged parts of the planet, our medical teams possess undaunted dedication, facing some of the harshest environments and obstacles, in order to achieve our goal of providing access to quality, sustainable healthcare to those in need.
Our strategy for providing quality healthcare includes initiatives to adapt and develop innovative tools, technologies, and treatments; improve the quality of healthcare services and practices in low-resource communities; provide training for local healthcare professionals; and donate medical equipment and supplies to local medical facilities so that they can benefit the community.
With greater access to quality healthcare and medical supplies, these communities can be healthy with local families given the opportunity to not only survive a health crisis, but to thrive.
