Initiative

Health Outreach Programme

Monthly mobile health camps and home-based outreach bringing antenatal care, child health, immunisation and screening to villages across the parish.

Background

Why this matters.

Even in well-served districts, the furthest households are often the last to receive care. Distance, time off work and transport cost discourage clinic visits — especially for mothers and the elderly.

Vision

What we are building toward.

A reliable monthly outreach calendar covering every village in Kashangura Parish, staffed by clinicians and supported by community birth attendants, with a continuous feedback loop into the Foundation's data dashboard.

Community Need

The needs this addresses.

Antenatal and postnatal care closer to home
Catch-up immunisation for missed children
Screening for hypertension, diabetes and anaemia
Health education tailored to local languages
Continuity of care between outreach and referral
