Parkers Mobile Clinic

Location: Nigeria (Anambra)

From the Founder:

In response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, as a Medical Doctor,I operate a mobile clinic through which I render healthcare services at the doorstep of elderly ,chronically ill and people living in remote areas in Anambra, Nigeria. I was motivated to pursue this because of the poor accessibility of basic healthcare services in my region. There is increasingly difficulty in accessing basic healthcare services for most people in Nigeria now due to fear of visiting hospitals and becoming exposed to COVID-19.

My project support in the fight against coronavirus by delivering basic healthcare services at the doorstep of people who are under lockdown due to the COVID-19 Crisis. We also plan to use the coronavirus test kit to test those at risk and the general public at the comfort of their homes.

We also plan to deliver hand sanitizers, face masks and other protective equipments at the doorstep of individuals who are in lock down. As part of our project, we remotely monitor the healthcare states of our patients using a central monitoring system.

So far , we have impacted positively on the health of over 200 people. We have been supported by goethe Institute who provided us with a 3000euros seed funding.

Support Needed

Funding: Our current total budget is 15,000 USD. We have raised 4000 USD so far. We need additional 11,000 USD in order to purchase medical supplies, drugs and pay staff.

Other support: Volunteers, Access to information, Space for online convenings (e.g. GoToMeeting), Medical supply donations.
