Fact finding mission to three countries, Senegal, Mali and Burkina Faso documented how bad healthcare system on the backdrop of poverty, growing chronic and emerging infectious diseases, and the HIV/AIDS well entrenched and high infant mortality rate, is impeding these countries economic development.
The African Health Innovations was created among likeminded colleagues and friends to apply innovative strategies to tackle the comprehensive health issues confronting the total wellness of Africans on the continent. Countries in Africa spent the least resources on healthcare, research and preventive services, which affect people in terms of short life expectancy. The Africans are under constant strain and experiencing preventable health catastrophes, which are not urgently addressed because of dire poverty.
As African countries are not technologically and financially equipped to promote and protect the health of their citizens, families are forced to witness the slow painful demise of a family member. Scientific evidence demonstrated that a well developed public health system, based on prevention and early intervention saves lives. Most African governments lack the will to invest in health services and education adversely affecting the lives of their people.
It is the aim of the AHI to apply innovative approaches and evidence-based strategies to give back to our communities by adequately addressing their health needs.
Indeed we are asking for your support to help address the health issues affecting the continent, in a timely manner. It is our collective responsibility to help promote health and wellness and to assist those in need of medical attention. We strive to effectively tackle the tragedies of preventable and curable health problems that plague the African. We will assist our people and give them hope by developing public health initiatives, and providing clinical services in health centers and mobile units in an efficient and culturally sensitive manner. It is our belief that denying health care because of poverty is a Human Right violation.
In complex health cases such as major surgeries, cancer treatment and organ transplants, and post-intervention recovery, we will support those patients with the cost of medicines.
Our areas of focus will be aligned with one a unique logic: Efficient public health system and innovative health care delivery system to look at urgent needs concerning the health of the people and prioritize the needs in a timely fashion. Children with critical health needs will receive priority attention.
