project description

To address the pressing health challenges faced by the our community in Kalangalo, our organization aims to establish a comprehensive community health system. The project will focus on improving access to quality healthcare services, promoting preventive health measures, and empowering the community to take charge of their well-being. By constructing a Health Center in Kalangalo, we will create a central hub for healthcare delivery, health outreach programs, and health campaigns.

Challenges

The community currently faces several barriers to accessing healthcare, including: * Long distances to service points * Perceived low quality of care * Drug availability issues * Late referrals * Regular stock-outs of drugs * High cost of services These challenges have a significant impact on the overall health and well-being of the community members, particularly vulnerable groups such as children and women.

Solutions
