Rural Health
450 adults received free medical care. 675 girls and boys were cared for by our professionals. 850 medicines
were delivered free of charge
By means of “Health for All”, as a result of the continuity of the agreement with the savings and credit cooperative COOSAJO, 3500 patients have benefited with free consultations.
Access to health in rural areas was strongly affected by having an increased budget to combat Covid-19, limiting resources for providing care of doctors in other health problems. To this we must add the limitation of not having public transport, that made it impossible for a sick person to go to the center health of the urban area. Therefore, Paz y Bien found a way in order to continue with the Rural Health program, through which a doctor or a team moved to the communities to carry out the necessary checks and delivery of medications as needed.
