Improved Access to Healthcare Services
Essential healthcare services have been lacking in the mile four, wotutu/ewongo local community areas. The actions of ASC have provided essential health services in these underserved and remote areas where local healthcare infrastructures were lacking. Specifically, the support to operate mobile clinics, providing free medical consultations, and distributing medications and medical diagnostics equipment to some clinics. A good example is the provision of an Incubator to the one local clinic to help save the lives of premature babies delivered in and around the communities.
Health Education and Awareness
ASC and partners have frequently organized health education campaigns that inform local populations about diseases, prevention methods (e.g., hygiene, vaccination), and healthy lifestyle choices. Many of these health education initiatives are designed to raise general health literacy, helping communities understand medical conditions, treatment options, and how to navigate the local healthcare system.
Capacity Building
ASC and partners have often provided training programs for local healthcare workers to enhance their skills and knowledge, improving the quality of care in the local communities. We do believe that by working with local community members, we can empower them to take active roles in improving their health outcomes and leading local health initiatives. Over eight medical doctors were trained on basics interpretations of ECG rhythms, on available ECG machines that were available during the 2024 health campaign in Limbe. The frontline staff were also educated on universal precautions to prevent blood born disease.
Improvement in Public Health Data and Research
ASC has been actively involved in contributing to health research, gathering data on local health challenges, disease patterns, and the effectiveness of different health interventions. Data collected during past health campaigns has assisted local authorities in conducting public health surveys, improving local health data and helping authorities plan more targeted and effective interventions.
