This is an affordable community-funded healthcare model, and serves 40,000 rural poor in northern Pakistan. The facility provides comprehensive primary and preventive care, with a mother-child focus. Lives are saved everyday by having on-site, round-the-clock urgent care facilities, a well-stocked pharmacy, a laboratory, dental unit and more. On-going patient education and speciality camps help address chronic conditions and improve the quality of life of the earthquake affected rural residents.
Pakistan spends less than one per cent of its annual budget on an on-going basis on health. Three-quarters of the 170 million people in Pakistan live in rural areas where public health facilities are non-operational or, if they exist, poorly managed. Maternal health and infant mortality are abysmal. To address this, SHINE Humanity/CDRS is piloting a community-funded pre-paid healthcare system that provides primary and preventive care, health education, and rebuilds the basic infrastructure.
Our health facilities have managed over 500,000 patient contacts from Mar 26, 2006 to June 1, 2011. Programs address primary and emergency healthcare, dental health, mental health, iodine/micronutrient deficiency and winter support to remote villages
SHINE Humanity/CDRS empowers communities through healthcare management programs that address chronic conditions and teach families proper hygiene/disease prevention. Our emphasis on community funding builds systems that are sustainable.
