Mr. Latif, (Founder and Executive Director) of SG Mobile Health Care, saw health care as a basic right for all manner of persons irrespective of their social, religious, political affiliation, or geographical location. “When it comes to healthcare provision, there should be no limitation whatsoever!”. He often stressed.
Operations of SG Mobile Health Care seek to bring quality basic healthcare to the doorstep of everyone in Ghana and beyond. Prior to its establishment, the idea was sold out to a team of health professionals and other paramedical persons with varied experience in health and community development.
The team of professional volunteers at SG Mobile Health Care noted the following with concern for which its establishment could not be delayed any longer.
Several Ghanaians living within and outside cities have their health care needs partly or completely neglected to inaccessible health care facilities and or over reliance on the only few static public and privately manned health facilities. It is in this regard that our Team of professional volunteers on schedule, move from community to community, set temporal health post which usually last for at least a day or two to afford community members the opportunity to quality basic healthcare. This is replicated in schools and during public events.
To attain accessible universal healthcare as stipulated in Millenium Development Goal (MGD) 5(B), our team believes that Government alone cannot achieve this very basic but vital goal. The establishment of SG Mobile Health Care and other private sector investment into the health sector is a great initiative to the achievement of this goal. This will in a long run help to eliminate extreme poverty and stop hunger as in MGDs 1(B) and 1(C) respectively.
We aim to stand firm with other stakeholders and collaborators such as GAC, GHS, Agamal, the National Malaria Control Program among others in the fight against malaria, HIV/AIDS and other communicable diseases.
There is also a worrying level of unemployment. This can largely be attributed to our over reliance on Government for job creation. In full operations, SG Mobile Health Care has the potential of creating thousands of formal and informal jobs for both Technical and Non-technical volunteers.
As at the end of 2nd quarter, 2018, about twenty-four thousand individuals from fiveteen communities benefited from our outreach programs. Same period saw us visit about fourteen schools including UDS, Wa.
With resourcefulness, we have the capacity to reach out to one hundred thousand individuals (100,000) per quater.
