HealthForAll


HOMEABOUTSCHOOL FOR ALLHEALTH FOR ALLWATER FOR ALLGET INVOLVEDCONTACT

clinic project	HealthForAll aims to enable communities to have access to basic healthcare facilities, and to educate communities on nutrition and disease prevention. HealthForAll has built a surgery for the community health nurse in Sabi, provided mosquito nets for people in the village (thanks to the fundraising efforts of Links International) and also hosted teams of doctors and nurses from abroad. We have been involved in health teaching at community level, promoting the use of a special porridge for weaning babies which can be made from locally available ingredients, and the use of a leaf called moringa, which is high in natural vitamins. We have encouraged pregnant and breast feeding women to eat this and to also give it to their children, particularly during weaning, to help the child stay healthy and protect him from succumbing to vitamin-deficiency diseases. HealthForAll has worked closely with the village health workers and local nurses, helping with baby weighing clinics and attending meetings and seminars in which health personnel share problems, advice, updates on medicines and latest surveys. These have been helpful in making us aware of the huge problems facing health personnel here, in particular the lack of equipment, medicines and hygienic facilities.

HopeForAll is a project of Micah's Call International, UK registered charity number 1116897
