Healthcare - Our Initiative
Our Initiative
Our Approach – Moonlight Humanity has partner with local doctors, Mid-wife and nurses including lab technicians and dispensary professionals to schedule periodic on-going visits to remote areas, villages and under-served communities for health care diagnostics, labs, medication and dental treatments.
Moonlight Healthcare Activities:
- Training and supervision of midwifes in remote rural communities – through on-the-job coaching and cross learning visits – to improve their medical knowledge and skills.
- Linking health staff across different facilities through medical team meetings.
- Supporting more frequent outreach visits to very remote communities to provide vital health services.
- Training Village Health Support Group members to share health information with others in their village through regular community health education.
- Linking community members with their local health center for vaccinations more effectively.
- Facilitating spot-checks on outreach services to ensure these are regular, consistent and offer full supplies of vaccines and medications.
- Conducting meetings with key stakeholders to share healthcare project successes, with the aim of increasing the sustainability of the project
Our Process:
Since 2011, the Moonlight Humanity has focused on improving access to and utilization of health services, particularly in very remote communities. This focused on increasing skills and motivation among frontline health workers – including midwives and community health volunteers who are part of Moonlight Humanity Health Clinics and Mobile Clinics) – so healthcare facilities can provide better services.
Moonlight Humanity works directly with health center doctors and staff to identify the challenges they face when facilitating outreach services and developed support mechanisms that ensure a more regular, comprehensive and integrated approach to health services.
Moonlight Humanity medical team have encouraged the sharing of learning among health teams and established stronger links with communities to ensure more people are able to access health advice and services.
