Access to quality primary health care is one of the fundamental rights of every human being. Unfortunately, this basic right is still beyond the reach of millions of people around the world, especially those living in impoverished areas where essential health services are scarce. Community Health Funding Drive is a vital initiative launched to ensure that people in these areas have access to primary health care services. The drive aims to raise funds to provide basic health services such as prenatal care, immunizations, and treatment for infectious diseases, amongst others. Joining this initiative will help improve the health and wellbeing of those in need, and help create healthier and stronger communities.
Together, let’s make affordable and accessible primary health care a reality for everyone, regardless of their income or social standing.
