Providing maternal and child healthcare services in rural areas
Annual Goal: $10,000.00
Year to Date Gifts: $6,265.00
The Buckeye Clinic will address the needs of the villagers in the new Internally Displaced Persons camp by providing food and medicines when needed. When the clinic compound can again be used after the dyke is repaired, the new patient dorm will accommodate up to 12 patients. In 2020, funds from the Advance will purchase and deliver food and medicines to the Internally Displaced Persons camp. Funds from the advance will also assist with the cost of construction of the patient dorm/infirmary.
To improve maternal and child health in the Piol area. The long-term impact will be healthier women and children. In the short term, the goal will be to assist with food and medicines in the new IDP camp.
The Buckeye Clinic began supporting the Piol community Primary Health Care Unit (PHCU) in 2011 with the installation of a solar energy system that powered a refrigerator to store vaccines. Three vaccinators were hired and began vaccinating children from preventable diseases. Two years later, the Ministry of Health assumed responsibility for the salaries of these vaccinators. In 2017, The Buckeye Clinic hired three medical professionals and three support staff. With the addition of these trained medical staff, the PHCU would be eligible for an upgrade to a Primary Health Care Center (PHCC) which is the next level below a hospital. This would make the clinic eligible for additional support from the Ministry of Health, including increased medicines. The village requested and achieved this upgrade in April 2018. A Village Health Committee was organized and trained by the Physician’s Assistant. As this committee grows in their understanding of administering health care, they will be better prepared to be an advocate for health care in the village. The change we would like to see as a result of this Advance Project is that the federal government, through the Ministry of Health, recognize the value of an increased level of health care in the village and take over responsibility of paying these staff salaries.
