THE WORKS WE DO
We identify communities that have dire need for basic healthcare, collaborate with local health practitioners and then solicit for support to acquire the needed tools and team to be deployed to those communities. Get an in-depth look at our work, including the how and why of where we respond.
Medical Issues
Learn about the diseases and medical conditions we treat.
Access to medicine
Available health research data suggests that one fourth of the world’s population lacks access to essential medicines. In the poorest parts of Africa and other underdeveloped countries this figure is even higher. We help provide medicines for preventive care and the treatment of basic health conditions.
Cholera
Cholera is preventable and easily treated, yet it infects millions of people each year and causes up to 143,000 deaths worldwide. RHF helps educate communities on ways to prevent Cholera infections and we provide basic tools to help keep the environment clean.
Covid-19
RHF works around the world to provide testing kits, masks, and sanitizers to help contain COVID-19 and consistently adapt our programs so we can continue facilitating access to essential care.
Malaria
Each year, malaria kills nearly half a million people. 70 percent of all deaths are children under five years of age. We work hard to procure anti-malaria medicine and other malaria prevention materials for low-income communities.
Maternal Health
An estimated 99 percent of women who die in childbirth or from pregnancy-related complications live in developing countries. Most of these deaths are preventable. We help provide ultra-sound scans to pregnant women to diagnose any conditions that could cause problems during and after childbirth.
Cardiovascular Disease
Globally, more people die from cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) annually than from any other causes (WHO, 2011). Our ultra-sound scans help individuals who would have otherwise not had access to such services or could not afford it, have free preventive check-ups to help diagnose lingering heart conditions.
General Health Screening
Each year many people from low-income communities die from preventable diseases because they do not do regular physical health checks. The reality is that most of these communities either do not have any medical facilities or cannot afford these services. We are stepping in the gap to help provide such services free of charge to them.
Vaccination
Vaccines are one of the most effective public health interventions available, but at least 1.5 million children still die each year from vaccine-preventable diseases. We facilitate the supply of critical vaccines to communities that need them.
