FOR VOLUNTEERS

In the Medical Outreach project, EMOTER is dedicated to providing medical care to people who do not normally have access to it. We focus mainly on the Nebbi district, where there are only two hospitals per 350,000 inhabitants. Regularly so we set out with a team of health workers in peripheral areas, where for a few days, we build our "mobile field office." We inform the community well in advance about the outreach and then treat, dispense medication and provide consultations, as well as basic laboratory tests.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Every quarter we buy necessary medicines, materials, test kits and go to Nebbi district. Organizationally, stations for registration, prevention and own medical consultations are divided on the spot. We keep a record of each treated patient, and he/she also receives a medical report when he/she leaves us. During the outreach, we also try to educate adults.

WHERE DO WE HELP?

We operate our activities in Uganda, specifically in Kampala and the Nebbi district, where we travel with our Medical Outreach project. The Nebbi district is located in the northeast of the country, and we chose it because it has more than 350,000 inhabitants, with only 2 hospitals.
