Give 2000 Egyptian Families Affordable Health Care

One of our main key outcomes from any training is to ensure that the knowledge and the skills set we introduce to the trainees are helpful for them and make their life easier even if with minimal intervention. And to ensure that these interventions are sustinable and help the workers in the NGOs to give hte support and the guidance the patients need when approaching them. 

But as an outcome of the first round of the training by el Naseh project, we were able to see some gains for our new methodology with our partners from local NGOs.

Mona, CEO of one of the trained local NGOs, community leader and activist in the right to health for People With Disabilities, shared with us her opinion regarding the training and we would love to share it wit you: 

"Attending the training on the right to health has been a transformative experience for me. Prior to this, I had a general understanding of the concept, but the training has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to advocate for this fundamental human right with greater confidence and effectiveness.

The training covered a wide range of topics, from the legal framework surrounding the right to health to practical strategies for implementing community-based health programs. I particularly appreciated the opportunity to learn about the challenges faced by marginalized communities and how to address them through targeted interventions.

I am confident that the knowledge and skills I gained from this training will significantly enhance my ability to support my NGO's work in promoting health equity. I am eager to apply what I have learned to develop and implement programs that improve access to healthcare for vulnerable populations in our community."

Hearing this is our constant motto to keep going and of course with your support we will be able to reach more people in more marginalized places/ governorates.

Thank you for your continuous support. And stay tuned for the launch of our online course soon.

As we mentioned in the previous newsletter shared with you, we aim to empower local NGOs to provide women with accurate information and access to basic health services. We are happy to announce that we are done with developing the  comprehensive training content for local NGOs working in Egypt to equip them with the knowledge and skills necessary to educate and support women and families in navigating the healthcare system.

This is through some key activities:

- Needs Assessment: Initial consultations with local NGOs and stakeholders identified critical areas for knowledge improvement.

- Content Development: Subject matter experts in reproductive health, healthcare systems, and gender equity collaborated to develop training modules on the following key topics:

• The Right to Health: This module will explore the fundamental right to health
• Referral Systems in the Egyptian Healthcare System: This module will map the existing referral system within the public sector, highlighting the different levels of care and how to navigate referrals effectively.
• Understanding the New Healthcare Insurance System: This module will provide a clear comparison between the old and new healthcare insurance systems in Egypt, explaining benefits, eligibility requirements, and the process of utilizing insurance for reproductive health services.

- Content Review and Revision: The developed modules underwent rigorous review by subject matter experts and stakeholders to ensure accuracy, clarity, and cultural sensitivity.

- Training Material Development: The training content was formatted into accessible and engaging materials, including presentations, handouts, and interactive exercises.

We are aiming to launch the online version of the training in July 2024. One of the main milestones we are aiming to include is digital system integration: a separate training module on the digital healthcare system will be developed and integrated into the program in the next phase. This module will equip NGOs with the knowledge and skills to navigate the digital platform. This Training represents a significant step forward in empowering local NGOs in Egypt, to access and navigate the healthcare system. 

We can’t wait to share with you in our next letter news and testimonials from the NGOS who will get the training.

Thank you for your continuous support.
