Data is one of the most important tools in all our programs as it helps us measure whether our programs are making an impact or when it’s time for change. For the past three weeks, our Education program has been surveying schools in our catchment area. Check out today’s blog to learn more about how this survey is going to contribute to our Education program.
On-site Clinics
Orant partners with the Malawian Ministry of Health and other charities and NGOs to deliver comprehensive specialized care to our patients. Some of the services we provide:
- HIV/AIDS Testing, Counseling, and Management
- Weekly Cervical Cancer Screening
- Monthly Ophthalmology Clinics
- Twice Weekly Prenatal Clinics
- Malnutrition Monitoring and Treatment
Orant charges our patients a small fee (~$.25 – $1.33) for using our medical facilities. All the money collected goes directly back into medical treatment. If someone is incapable of paying the full amount, they are never turned away.
Mobile Outreach Clinic
Our Mobile Outreach Clinic travels to remote villages to offer life-saving treatments.
Kasese Health Center
The Kasese Health Center is our on-campus static clinic where we treat tens of thousands of patients annually.
