Ubuntu-Afya Kiosk Project: Sustainable Rural Access to Integrated RMNCH and NCD Care Services

We are working to scale integrated Reproductive Maternal Newborn and Child Health (RMNCH) and Non-Communicable Disease(NCD) services for under-served rural communities where the burden is under-estimated and outcomes are poor. We are anchoring this intervention on our model of healthcare delivery: Ubuntu-Afya Medical Centers, which we seek to scale. The Ubuntu-Afya Medical Centers are unique in their co-ownership model with target communities and in the incorporation of complementary financial service enterprises, which cross-subsidize the cost of health service. We seek to promote the reach and impact of the centers, and secure their scale-up by implementing additional capacity to provide reproductive health, skilled delivery and post-natal care; and integrate consideration for NCD in routine RMNCH care. We also intend to develop and deploy biometric and cloud computing capacity onto our in-house health information system, to facilitate follow-up of our clients for optimal care.
