Screening beyond the school gate

Village and ward-level camps run with local volunteers and with medical and para-medical staff. The Foundation provides the central access point that makes a scattered effort into a programme.

The model

Equitable access, individual coordination, quality assessment

We enable communities to deliver a seamless experience through the health system for beneficiaries in diverse populations: equitable access, individualised care coordination, and quality health care assessment. The organisation provides a central access point for working with local volunteers and with medical and para-medical staff.

Difficulties we do not hide

Three

Return rates are lower

A village population is harder to bring back for results than a school population. We design for single-visit closure wherever the clinical protocol allows.

Referral capacity varies

We check the destination facility's capacity before scheduling a camp, and will decline to run one where there is nowhere to refer.

Consent takes longer

Explaining a digital health record to a population encountering one for the first time takes real time on the day, and we budget for it.

Run a camp in your community.
