Why Medical Care?

Why Medical Care?

For families living in developing communities, access to medical aid can change everything.

Access to basic medical care means health, education, income and very importantly, family empowerment.

1 in 26 parents lose a child due to limited primary health care

and vaccine access, malnutrition, respiratory infections and diarrhea.

The majority of families who live in rural and urban communities have to save up for months before being able to afford a doctor and often have to walk hours before reaching the nearest clinic.

Saving these funds and making these unbearable walks take time and no parent can afford to wait when it comes to saving their child’s life.

Health

In 2018, preventable diseases killed over 6.2 million children, leaving parents mourn the loss of their children. 85% of those deaths are children under the age of 5. Access to basic medical care can save around 16,986 children every day.

Education

Access to health care helps keep children in school. By relieving parent's financial stress for medical expenses, education can become a priority. Children should not have to miss school due to illnesses which could have been avoided or treated.

Income

More than 1/3 of families across the world do not have access to essential health care due to steep prices. Access to basic medical care eases parents' financial stress, allowing them to afford their children's education.

Family Empowerment

When parents have access to basic health care to save their children, they are able to focus their energy on empowering their home and ensure the future, safety and well-being of their children.
