Mission

Access Health Africa's medical service programming focuses on community-level interventions. Due to the decentralized nature of life in Malawi and the overburdened formal health sector, effective interventions happen at the community level - where Access Health Africa excels at working. AHA specializes in community level work, psychosocial support, building local capacity, providing direct services, and education. At the local level we focus on health knowledge, improving community structures and attitudes surrounding health, direct service delivery, and access to health services and care.

Program accomplishments

• 1. Medical Sponsorships identify patients with complex medical diagnoses that are unable to be treated by their community health center due to the complexity of the case. Many individuals with complex cases cannot access care due to high transportation costs, lack of understanding of the medical system, lack of funds for diagnostic tests and costs such as accommodations not covered by the public healthcare system, and lack of an advocate. AHA coordinates care for these patients and provides funds to ensure the patient, and a guardian if the patient is a minor, have everything they need to access quality care. Funds provided include funds to get to and from the treatment facility safely, nutritious food during one's stay at a medical facility, medical tests such as CT scans or bloodwork that are not covered by the public healthcare system, and sometimes even basic necessities such as new clothes or shoes. Patients are supported through the entire process and AHA provides follow-up support to ensure the medical issue is fully resolved.
  Expenses $5,521
• 2. Surgical Camps provide a broad range of diagnoses, treatment, and surgical procedures to the people of Malawi while also providing training to local healthcare workers. Volunteers and paid practitioners, including doctors, nurses, and ancillary support staff, provide acute care to a population of patients who would otherwise not have access to medical care due to high transportation costs and/or lack of knowledge or understanding of the system. Malawi has just one doctor per 50,000 people - one of the lowest levels in the world. Recent research found that there are only 37 working surgeons in Malawi, the population of which is estimated to be approximately 17 million people. That's nearly half a million people per surgeon! In Surgical Camps, AHA staff partner directly with rural healthcare providers to identify individuals waiting for surgeries. A primary goal of AHA is not only to address the immediate, acute health issues in Malawi but also to increase the capacity of the healthcare sector, which is done through one-on-one partnerships during Surgical Camps.
  Expenses $89,983
