Reaching Everyone with Accessible Community Health – a community-based intervention dedicated to providing quality, low-cost primary healthcare in underserved low-income urban communities, has announced that it is expanding to cater to at least 2,000 persons annually.
This comes after the clinic was awarded a grant of $25,000 by an anonymous donor to support its operation of a new REACH Primary Healthcare Hub in Kano.
The new REACH primary healthcare hub will be supporting an average of 300 persons daily, with 100 people receiving in-person care while others through EHA Care -a digital health platform- will access virtual consultations.
“We are thrilled to receive this generous grant from the Donor who would prefer to be anonymous,” said the Chief Operating Officer, EHA Clinics, Paul Hogan.
The primary healthcare hub, which will be supported by six health posts and community pharmacies, aims to provide quality primary health care, childbirth and maternal services, home care, telemedicine, and pharmacy services to the community.
“We are deeply grateful for the recognition of our work and the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the residents of the Gyadi-Gyadi community.
“We recognize and appreciate those who played a crucial role in facilitating this grant, and our local stakeholders such as the Kano Emirates Council Committee on Health, who ensured that our services were tailored to the unique needs and concerns of the Gyadi-Gyadi community.”
“Through their assistance, we secured a central location for our REACH Hub with access to public transportation and a well-developed road network, making it convenient for residents to reach us whenever necessary,” Hogan added.
