Amal Outreaches’ Partnership with Iyewo
Iyewo is an Amal Outreach initiative designed as a sustainable healthcare system to promote access to quality health care services in underserved communities in Nigeria. It is a multi-tiered care design, differentiated to client clinical needs, through an optimization of clinic, home care, and tele-health services.Primary Care Clinics across Target Communities
Iyewo establishes clinics across target communities to increase access and availability of quality preventive health screening & continuous primary care services, to also provide follow-up towards optimal disease control. Currently we have one clinic in the Olowogbowo area in Lagos Island, Nigeria.Local Health Wallet
To achieve our goal of improving affordable health services and products for Iyewo participants, we provide subsidized service through a system of donation and partnerships from stakeholders. We have launched a local health wallet that helps participants practice a health savings culture.Community Health
One of our primary goals at Iyewo is to improve the capacity of individuals and communities to have control over, and to improve, their health. To achieve this, Iyewo has a team of community health workers deployed as continuous care by tracking compliance, the application of personal health information and other health promotion activities.
