We are trying to solve the problem of poor accessibility to basic healthcare services and emergency health services among Elderly, disabled, chronically ill and people living in rural areas. Over 80% of these target group in my state don't have good access to basic care for their condition.This is due to the fact over 90% of them don't have cars or good transportation system which will convey them to hospital on time in case of medical emergencies or need to visit hospital. My project involve using movable clinics to deliver healthcare services at the comfort of their homes .The healthcare services include nursing care, physiotherapy, health counseling, health education and training. The Mobile Clinic is equipped with basic medical service facilities such as handy ultrasound scan and X-ray machines, hospital beds, Resuscitation devices etc.There will be a nurse and a Doctor attached to the clinic. We have an emergency toll free number which patients call when they need our services. We also remotely monitor the health of the patients.We will do this using a satellite system which will be connected to a sensor that the patient will wear. My project is easily scaleable because it involve using an everyday human resource ie Doctors ,nurses and also using facilities which are already in usage in hospitals. My project will scale through social media campaign and through community sensitization campaigns. We also do door-door visits for our Target audience in their homes. We will scale and sustain our project by establishing a micro-health insurance scheme where patients will pay just 15 USD monthly in order to unlimitedly access our services.This fund will enable us to sustain the mobile clinic. I additionally scale my project through sourcing for funds from philanthropists,NGOs and through establishing partnerships with hospitals and other health organizations. My project is relatively new in the world and also build on existing interventions. It is new because it involve delivering healthcare services at the comfort of people's homes.Based on the research i conducted, i noticed that parkers mobile clinic is a solution which many people in my community have long been seeking for. My project also build on existing Interventions such as home based healthcare services and use of sensors to monitor health state.
