Promote Health and Treat Illnesses
Health is a fundamental right for everyone. In line with the World Health Organisation's definition, we understand the term to mean a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. However, countries with poorly developed healthcare systems often lack medical personnel. In these countries, nurses and paramedics care for patients in basic health stations. We support these facilities in a target-oriented manner to improve basic medical care. Our focus is on mother and child health and particularly vulnerable groups.
Health begins at the community level
Our primary goal is to prevent disease through preventive measures and to continuously improve the resilience of health systems in crisis regions. We do this by improving the infrastructure of primary health systems and promoting training for medical staff. Community-based health workers play a crucial role in the prevention and early detection of disease and malnutrition, as well as in providing initial care to those affected.
Preventive Measures Prevent Disease
Clean drinking water and adequate sanitation are crucial to prevent disease. Therefore, preventative components are always implemented in all our health projects. This also includes the promotion of hygiene, such as encouraging regular hand washing. All these measures help to reduce morbidity and mortality and provide crucial protection for people’s health.
