CHALLENGES
"As a local resident, I have witnessed firsthand the challenges that individuals and families face when trying to access healthcare services. Many people in our community live in remote areas, far from medical facilities and resources. This poses a significant challenge for those who require medical attention, as they often have to travel long distances to access care. This can be particularly difficult for those who are living in poverty and cannot afford the costs associated with transportation and medical treatment. Furthermore, the limited availability of healthcare resources and infrastructure in our area means that even when people do make it to a medical facility, they may not receive the level of care they need." - Leader Ibrahim Yahaya
POTENTIAL IMPACT
"A medical camp can provide medical services and consultations with volunteer doctors and nurses at no or low cost. A community pharmacy can provide essential medication and offer consultations with pharmacists." - Leader Ibrahim Yahaya

Medical Camp's Lab
"As someone in a remote area who has been battling with an illness for a long time, it's been difficult to find affordable medical care that I can trust. But the lab at the medical camp was a game-changer for me. They were able to run all the necessary tests and give me a proper diagnosis." - Kwame Odion, community member
