The Rural Health Team
-
Maternal and Child Health
RHT provides low or no-cost care for pregnant women, infants, and children. The mobile medical team has pioneered localized prenatal care for women living in rural areas who would otherwise not have access to this care.
-
Full Service Clinic
RHT has recently moved to a new full-service clinical site providing low and no-cost primary and urgent care. The site includes modern exam rooms, a small diagnostic lab, and a basic pharmacy. This site will allow RHT to fill a much-needed gap in healthcare in the local community.
-
Mobile Medical Team
RHT has pioneered a model of localized care that includes medical care that meets patients where they are. Clinicians have motorcycles with basic medical kits, as well as a mobile medical clinic van that includes more in-depth diagnostic and treatment modalities.
The Rural Health Team prioritizes Maternal and Child Healthcare
The Mobile Medical Van is equipped with ultrasound equipment to allow RHT providers to conduct high-quality prenatal care to pregnant women in rural areas. RHT also creates and distributes specialized “Mama Kits” to new mothers with basic supplies for safety and hygiene in the immediate postpartum period.
The Rural Health Team was conceived, formed, and organized by Ugandans, for Ugandans.
The work of the RHT meets a critical need for accessible medical care in rural areas. Anthill Alliance is proud to work closely with RHT to facilitate broader access to health care, encourage health education, and improve maternal and child health. With its Mobile Medical Vehicles, providers can make regular visits to rural communities. Using this model of care, RHT is able to reach patients that would otherwise not have access to regular preventative care and health management.
