Al-Maadi Village’s Journey to Health Care Access

 

Al-Maadi village, located in Qena governorate, has encountered significant challenges in accessing healthcare services and promoting basic health awareness among its population. Through collaborative efforts with the Health Care program and the Health committee, solutions have been implemented.

The villagers now have access to a monthly mobile clinic staffed with doctors from the health unit in Qena governorate. This initiative aims to address the pressing medical needs of residents, particularly in relation to hypertension and diabetes. The impact has been profound, with 44 patients (30 women and 14 men) committing to treatment plans and adopting healthier dietary practices.

Additionally, the health committee initiated local initiatives by partnering with "Life Lab," which offers a 50% discount on medical tests for villagers. This underscores the pivotal role of the health committee in empowering local leaders to identify community needs and implement sustainable solutions.
