Innovo Mobile Healthcare:
The Pillars of Access to Healthcare
Health is regarded by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as a fundamental human right and health promotion is defined as “the process of enabling people to increase control over their health and its determinants, and thereby improve their health”.
Access to healthcare is also about advocacy for healthy public policies, empowerment of local communities on health promotion approaches, the creation of an enabling environment that promotes healthy behaviour, strengthening human resources capacity for the delivery of health promotion services, and strengthening systems to monitor and evaluate health in all communities.
Healthcare services and products are available in the healthcare system for various communities, esp remote and rural communities
Often the poorest tend to reside furthest from the nearest clinics and due to high travel costs, these community members are not able to afford transport to quality healthcare facilities. This forces them to make use of the nearest facilities, which do not always have comprehensive services. Innovo Mobile Healthcare avails quality healthcare services and products to communities in urban, peri-urban and rural areas, ensuring that even those living far away from city centres have access to quality treatment.
Affordability
Our ability to deliver services to those in need, whether in a bustling city centre or serene rural areas, ensures all communities have fair and equal access to healthcare systems.
Healthcare should be responsive and financially fair. It should endeavour to treat all patients with dignity, create trust and promote demand for health. Innovo Mobile Healthcare’s 18 combined years of experience has steadfastly provided healthcare guidance and direction to all the communities it serves.
