World Vision in partnership with Ford Motor Company and the Ministry of Health, provides mobile health clinics in two large regions in the remote Eastern Cape province. Mobile health clinics provide:
In October, World Vision and the Ministry of Health were able to provide an additional 314 people (112 children, 156 women and 47 men) with access to health services in the Umzimvubu community.
In the Umzimvubu Area Development Program there are 32 scattered villages and people have to walk great distances to attend a standard clinic available to them once every 3 months. One village is 10 miles from the local clinic and so villagers had to walk 20 miles to attend.The terrain is rough and wild, exposing many to assault and inclement weather conditions.
With the new mobile clinics medical staff were able to provide health services in 5 locations in the month of October alone.
We seek to continue improving access to health services for these remote villages in 2017.
World Vision is grateful for your support, thank you!
