Access to Health Services

Overview

Every person deserves timely, affordable, and high-quality healthcare. Our Access to Health Services component works to ensure that children, women, and vulnerable communities can receive the medical attention they need—when they need it. We strengthen health systems, empower communities, and remove the barriers that prevent people from seeking and receiving essential care.

From primary healthcare to maternal services and disease prevention, we are committed to building healthier communities where everyone can thrive.

How we work?

1. Strengthening Primary Health Care
We ensure that essential health services are available and accessible at community and facility levels by:
• Supporting health facilities with supplies, equipment, and staffing
• Improving outpatient care, maternal and newborn services
• Enhancing health information systems and patient record management
• Providing outreach clinics in hard-to-reach areas
Strong primary care systems save lives and reduce long-term health risks.

2. Expanding Access to Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health (MNCH)
We focus on protecting mothers and children through:
• Antenatal and postnatal care
• Safe delivery support and skilled birth attendance
• Newborn care and growth monitoring
• Immunization campaigns and nutrition screening
Healthy mothers and healthy children build healthier communities.

3. Promoting Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH)
We empower adolescents, youth, and adults with the knowledge and services they need to make informed choices.
Our work includes:
• Family planning and contraception services
• Youth-friendly corners and counseling
• Menstrual health and hygiene education
• Prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted infections
Access to SRH services improves wellbeing and advances gender equality.

4. Community Health Outreach and Education
We take health services directly to communities by:
• Conducting mobile clinics and outreach camps
• Training Village Health Teams (VHTs)
• Providing door-to-door visits for health awareness
• Sharing health information through local radio, schools, and community groups
This helps reach households that may otherwise miss essential care.

5. Strengthening Referral and Emergency Care Systems
To ensure timely treatment, we support:
• Functional referral pathways between communities and health facilities
• Ambulance and transport support for emergencies
• Training frontline workers on emergency response
• Coordination with district health authorities
Effective referrals save lives—especially for pregnant women and children.

6. Improving Access for the Most Vulnerable
We prioritize groups that often face discrimination or barriers to care, including:
• Refugees and host communities
• Women and girls
• Persons with disabilities
• Older persons and those with chronic illnesses
We make services safer, more respectful, and more inclusive.

Impact

Through our work, communities experience:
• Improved access to life-saving health services
• Reduced illness and disease outbreaks
• Better maternal and child health outcomes

• Enhanced health-seeking behaviors among families
Access to quality healthcare transforms lives and strengthens entire communities.

By supporting health systems, empowering communities, and promoting preventive practices, we help build resilient and healthier societies for generations to come.
