Actions Taken by LFO to Address Health-Related Issues
In response to the health-related issues outlined earlier, Light for Orphans (LFO) has implemented the following actions:
Medical Camps
LFO organizes medical convoys in underserved areas to provide free medical services, including check-ups and the distribution of essential medications. In critical situations, basic sterilized surgery rooms are set up to address urgent cases.
Partnerships with Local Healthcare Providers
Collaborating with local healthcare professionals and facilities, LFO extends healthcare services to more people in need. Partnerships with teaching hospitals in regions, such as South Sudan, Ivory Coast, Cape Verde, and Ghana have facilitated free surgeries for critical cases.
Partnership with Local NGOs
LFO collaborates with local NGOs to establish clinics or pharmacies in unreached areas, expanding access to healthcare services. For example, partnerships with organizations like the Perfect Light Foundation in Ghana and Egypt Without Disease (EWD) have led to the inauguration of one-day operation hospitals and polyclinics. Additionally, educational workshops are conducted to train healthcare providers and enhance their medical knowledge.
Health Education and Awareness Programs
LFO conducts community health education programs to raise awareness about preventive healthcare practices, personal hygiene, and nutrition. Public health campaigns are launched periodically on topics such as immunizations, sanitation, family planning, and disease prevention. These programs are often conducted in waiting areas to maximize reach and impact.
Mobile Clinics
LFO provides mobile healthcare services to remote and underserved communities, reaching individuals who lack access to traditional healthcare facilities and transportation options. Mobile clinics in regions like Upper Egypt and the Philippines facilitate healthcare delivery to those in need.
Free Medical Services in Upper Egypt
Due to the limited health services and access to medical care in Upper Egypt, LFO has taken the initiative to provide complimentary medical services to the community. We succeeded in sending many medical convoys, where we conducted thorough patient screenings, provided necessary medications free of charge, and performed minor surgeries promptly when required.
