In Uganda, most of the hospitals and clinics are based in cities and is expensive and unaffordable for extremely poor. In rural areas, the healthcare facilities are either inadequately staffed or simple too far off, forcing people to travel far and wide. Due to these reason, people are still dying of treatable disease. There are campaigns to stop this from happening. Our volunteers will work with local doctors and nurses to treat poor patients.
What difference does this project make?
The project treats people who simply can’t afford treatment. Volunteers will also help local doctors and nurses who are often overwhelmed by the number of patients they receive. Through your help, more people will be treated and cured.
