The Training Center will help educate a cadre of community health workers holistically trained in health promotion, disease prevention (priorities around HIV/AIDS, COVID-19) and treatment of uncomplicated and non-severe illnesses, such as cases of malaria, diarrhea, mild pain management techniques, and malnutrition (particularly maternal and child nutrition) in the community.
The Clinic will host a diverse group of health practitioners ranging from acupuncturists to obstetricians and mid-wives, to medical herbalists, to naturopaths and allopathic internists working collaboratively towards patient wellness.
In January 2023, UHH began our collaboration with Books for Africa Library Project (www.forafricalibrary.org) with a community health prevention workshop at BFA’s annual librarian in-service. These rural libraries will now serve as a health care information hub around diabetes, hypertension and glaucoma – three top ailments identified in UHH’s pop up clinics.
UHH is preparing for a Cervical Cancer Screening/prevention education/ and medical personnel training in 2025 at 3 sites in Ghana. UHH will partner with Project Give Hope to train physicians, nurse/nurse-midwives and other qualified health professionals to utilize thermal coagulators to treat women at high risk for cervical cancer, and provide prevention education and post-treatment care for medical and traditional herbalists. This project will provide 10 thermo-coagulators for shared medical use at three different urban and rural facilities in Ghana. Cervical Cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer in Ghanaian women.
We are creating a virtual education platform with (primarily) free health information on prevention and management of chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, and lifestyle and nutritional information that promote optimal health.
