The Children's Mobile Clinic:
In the rural regions of Malawi, children have no access to medical care; the cause is lack of transport, this is a nation with no infrastructure. To reach the nearest medical centre, on average a child would have to travel 25kms through the bush on foot, then 40kms along the tarmac road and would then have the option of a Mission Hospital where treatment must be paid for, or a Government Hospital where threatment is free but there is rarely any medicine or skilled clinical staff. It is also true that in this desperately poor nation, with an average income in our area of operation of just 41 cents children will be at the back of the queue when it comes to a family spending its meagre resources on health care.
We treat over 30,000 sick children every year, in fact in the last 3 months we treated 10,031 with over 2,000 cases of malaria alone.
It costs $65,000 a year to provide this vital need, we need funding for this and another Children's Mobile Clinic urgently, can you help?
