We embarked on an impactful visitation to primary health care centres in five remote villages of Sardauna Local Government, Taraba State, Nigeria. The experience was an eye-opener, and we had a fantastic time. It was a moment of learning and connecting more deeply with people who benefit from primary healthcare as we shed more light on the game-changing e-Likita project. The reaction and heartfelt gratitude we got meant a lot. This is how our trip went.
Before we go on, Dechi Health Trust Fund (Dechi-HTF) is a grassroots organisation committed to breaking barriers to healthcare access for underserved populations in remote rural areas. We believe in affordability, equity, and delivering high-quality services that make a difference. Our offerings include primary healthcare, telemedicine, health education, outreach, and women’s health services.
The warmth and embrace from the chiefs and community leaders of Chana, Kabri, Moyo Ndaga, Nguroje, Kakara, and Ngubin resonated deeply with us. They welcomed our innovative ideas and pledged their unwavering support, recognising the importance of accessible healthcare for their communities. This visitation served as a powerful catalyst for collaboration and paved the way for a promising future in these remote areas.
One of our primary objectives during the visitation was to assess, supervise, and distribute equipment for the E-Likita project. E-Likita is a groundbreaking digital platform designed to support health workers in remote clinics. It empowers them with the guidance needed to approach patients, gather comprehensive medical histories, conduct thorough examinations and tests, and ultimately arrive at accurate diagnoses. By equipping primary healthcare centres with E-Likita, we are arming healthcare providers in these remote areas with invaluable resources and tools that significantly enhance the quality of care they deliver.
