"Abandoned PHC is just one of our problems" – Community Leader. In Oyediran Village, Osun State, the challenges are multifaceted. Mr. Taofeek Amao, a community leader, underscores that while the abandoned Primary Healthcare Center (PHC) is a significant concern, it is merely one piece of a larger puzzle of issues. The village contends with a failing road network, lack of electricity, and inadequate access to clean drinking water. These conditions have forced many residents to relocate, further decreasing the village’s visibility and the likelihood of receiving much-needed government intervention. In a comprehensive report, frontline journalist Noah Aderoju delves into these pressing issues, highlighting the critical need for restoring healthcare services and addressing the broader infrastructure deficits. The story calls for immediate and coordinated action to uplift Oyediran Village and similar communities.

✨Why is it important to invest in rural and coastal health and social care? ⚡It provides care to people where they are and addresses their needs without causing loss in time and income due to travel or poorer outcomes due to lengthy waits for care. ⚡The populations in these areas are older on average when compared to urban areas, bringing with it a greater need for health and social care services. ⚡The Chief Medical Officer's report from 2021 identifies that coastal areas in the UK face greater health inequities. ⚡Local primary care teams have a good understanding of local communities and have developed trust with the people that they serve. ⚡In 2021 five of the top six most highly rated GP practices in the UK (as rated by patients) were rural or semi-rural practices. ⚡To keep providing good quality care and continuity for their populations, rural and coastal health and social care systems require stable and well planned investment. #RuralHealth #RuralHealthCareers #RuralCommuntites #RuralEurope #CoastalHealth #InvestInHealth #UHC #PHC #UK #WHOFides

At AMREF, we believe that quality healthcare should be accessible to everyone, everywhere. That’s why we’re working towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by establishing functional and sustainable Primary Care Networks (PCNs) across Kenya by 2026. Our vision is ambitious but achievable: well-equipped, skilled, and properly funded Community Health Promoters (CHPs) delivering primary care services where people need them most—where they live, work, and play. By focusing on community-centered care, we aim to build a healthcare system that empowers individuals, addresses their unique needs, and encourages healthier, more resilient communities. This approach is about more than just providing care—it’s about building trust, fostering local engagement, and creating a system that prioritises people’s well-being. With CHPs at the forefront, we’re ensuring that every Kenyan has the chance to lead a healthier life, supported by a responsive, sustainable primary care network. 📊 See the progress we’re making! Download our 2023 Impact Report to learn how we are securing the right to health for communities across Kenya: Read the full report via https://lnkd.in/dhwG7WaE Together, we can achieve a healthier future for all. 🤝 #Amref4UHC #PrimaryHealthCare #CommunityHealth Dr Ndirangu Wanjuki Dr. Githinji Gitahi Anne Muthoni Gitimu John Kutna Dr. Catherine Kanari

With the support of the USAID Advancing Universal Health Coverage Project (AUHC), the Surjer Hashi Network (A health care social enterprise), a private network of health facilities in #Bangladesh, successfully transitioned from a donor-dependent social franchise to a financially viable private chain of clinics, advancing #UniversalHealthCoverage in the country. Network-level cost recovery increased from 35% in 2019 to 76.6% in 2023, with the top 35 facilities achieving an impressive 112% aggregated cost recovery at AUHC’s close.

The healthcare crisis is perhaps the most heartbreaking and visible evidence of the neglect that Western Kenya endures. Unlike other regions, Western lacks a single ICU or HDU in any public hospital. There are no trauma centers, high-end labs for medical diagnostics, or even public mental health facilities across the five counties. Basic healthcare services are a challenge, with countless lives lost to preventable conditions due to a dearth of emergency medical resources. In a region where healthcare infrastructure is practically nonexistent, illnesses that would otherwise be treatable turn into death sentences, adding to the frustration and despair of the local population.

🌍 Healthcare Access in Rural Ethiopia Millions in rural Ethiopia still lack access to basic healthcare. However, initiatives such as mobile health clinics, training community health workers, and digital health solutions are helping to bridge this gap. These efforts are bringing vital healthcare to remote areas and improving health outcomes. As a global community, we must support efforts that aim to provide equitable healthcare access for all, regardless of where they live. By investing in the health of rural Ethiopia, we not only improve lives but contribute to the overall development of the nation. #RuralHealthcare #Ethiopia #HealthEquity #InnovationInHealthcare #PublicHealth

This March, let us unite in our commitment to healthcare as a fundamental human right. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of communities across our nation. At DBSA, every individual's dignity and rights are paramount, regardless of race, gender, or background.

Additionally, through collaboration with the German development bank, we have invested €10 million (approximately R200 million) in 54 health facilities in Limpopo and Northern Cape, ensuring they meet minimum functionality requirements and provide essential health services. Partnering with government and private stakeholders, we have developed infrastructure across various communities to enhance healthcare services. #HealthForAll #HumanRights #DBSAImpact

The tragic experience of Mrs. Kechine during the birth of her baby sheds light on the critical implications of unreliable electricity in Ethiopian healthcare facilities. Her ordeal at the local health center, encountering complications during a nighttime delivery, forced her on a frantic journey to a hospital with a stable power supply. Regrettably, she lost her newborn, a heart-wrenching event that emphasizes the pressing necessity for dependable electricity in healthcare environments. Sadly, Mrs. Kechine's narrative is not an isolated incident. With a substantial 65% of health facilities in Ethiopia grappling with unpredictable power, and over 40% lacking any access to electricity, the country faces a maternal mortality rate of 401 deaths per 100,000 live births and an under-five mortality rate of 59 deaths per 1,000 live births. Mrs. Kechine's touching words encapsulate the anguish and fear many mothers endure due to insufficient power supply in healthcare settings. "I was terrified giving birth in the dark. I worried for myself and my baby. The nurses did their best, but my baby died during my hours-long journey to another hospital... I still think about my baby to this day." Mrs. Kechine's story underscores the critical need for sustainable solutions in healthcare electrification. Collaborating and supporting health electrification initiatives is crucial in preventing such tragedies and ensuring safe and reliable healthcare for all.
