Free Health care

Our Reason for Action

Millions of poor people across Africa, especially women and children do not have access to qualitative healthcare services. Where these services are available, many are still too poor to afford them. Malaria, HIV/AIDs, water and sanitation related diseases and other preventable diseases are still a major cause of death and a huge challenge to improving average lifespan. With high rates of child and maternal mortality in Africa, there are fears that the continent is unlikely to meet its health Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) except stakeholders fast track actions to improve healthcare in the region. Poor health reinforces poverty and undermines any development agenda. Therefore, a key area of Global Relief work involves providing healthcare assistance through free medical and dental outreaches, including advocacy and other interventions aimed at tackling malaria, water & sanitation related diseases, nutrition related diseases, HIV/AIDS, and other preventable diseases. Global Relief solicits medical supplies and equipment to carry out free medical outreaches around Africa.
