A Medical Mobile Clinic for Underserved Communities in the Philippines
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- In 2017, ABC’s for Global Health (ABCGH) successfully launched our Mobile Clinic, serving 16 medically underserved communities. ABCGH addresses the prevention, maintenance, and improvement of noncommunicable diseases which disproportionately affects those lacking medical access, health education, and financial resources through a multi-program approach. Hypertension and diabetes remain the highest risk factors amongst Filipinos causing further disease complications and mortality. ABCGH has established partnerships with government and non-governmental organizations and identified 18 communities, including 3 indigenous peoples and 1 jail. Clinics run monthly per location, establishing reliable, longitudinal primary care.
