Mission 2
Health Programmes
Access and provision of quality health care is our second mission of alleviating poverty and to save lives. This programmes came about as a result of the fact that, quality health care delivery is a mirage largely in rural areas and the cost of health care in Ghana is becoming expensive every day. Despite the implementation of the health insurance scheme, the rural poor do not have access to quality health care due to lack of the facilities in communities and the high cost involve to reach the nearest health post.
The programme also offer the opportunity to medical students to intern in hospitals to learn at first hand health care delivery.
VARAS therefore hope to change this perennial problem by bringing health care to the door step of the rural poor through:
1. Health sensitization programmes
2. Rural mobile outreach/clinic
3. Donation of medical supplies to health centers and rehabilitation of dilapidated health centres
4. Sponsorship of surgeries.
Note: You do not need to be a professional to participate in our health programmes
