In the remote village of Chipale in Nkhotakota T/A Mwansambo, located in a hard-to-reach area, accessing healthcare services has long been a daunting challenge for residents. With the nearest health center situated nearly 20 kilometers away, many families faced the arduous task of traveling long distances, often on foot, to seek medical assistance. Monica, a mother of three, knows this struggle all too well.

Recently, when Monica’s youngest daughter fell ill with malaria, she found herself in a desperate situation. With no means of transportation and limited financial resources, she felt helpless as she watched her child suffer. However, amidst this crisis, a beacon of hope emerged in the form of FOCCAD’s Outreach Clinics.

These mobile healthcare units, supported by FOCCAD, bring essential medical services directly to the doorstep of communities like Mwansambo. With over 1000 people benefitting from these clinics, Monica was relieved to find help just a stone’s throw away from her home. The convenience and accessibility of the outreach services proved to be a lifeline for her family during their time of need.

By bringing healthcare closer to communities, FOCCAD is not only addressing the immediate health needs of individuals but also overcoming the significant barriers posed by long distances and limited resources.

Through initiatives like these, FOCCAD is fulfilling its mission of improving the health and well-being of vulnerable populations, ensuring that no one is left behind when it comes to accessing quality healthcare. As Monica’s daughter recovers from malaria, her family is grateful for the timely assistance provided by FOCCAD.
