ILDI
in Medicine
ILDI
helps to improve access to medical care by partnering with local
nonprofits to establish medical clinics, mobile clinic sites
to remote villages, HIV Prevention programs, public health education
programs, and vaccination programs. By working with local health
authorities, traditional birth attendants and other local community
leaders, ILDI and its nonprofit partners in developing nations
are able to provide low-cost or free healthcare to those who
have traditionally been unable to afford healthcare.
ILDI’s
programs in medicine include:
Medical
Clinics – permanent, mobile and temporary or “bush”
clinics, depending on local circumstances, need and staffing.
Public
Health Education programs covering topics such as nutrition,
preventive medicine, oral rehydration solution use, or methods
of water purification.
HIV
Prevention programs, which will include functional literacy
and microcredit services for participants.
Continuing
training for local traditional birth attendants and a referral
system for complicated deliveries.
Implementation
of the Newborn Survival Strategy, a low-cost, low-tech method
for reducing newborn and maternal mortality in low-resource
settings.
Medical
teams from developed nations to provide training for clinic
and local healthcare staff in various health fields such
as preventive medicine, dentistry, optometry, obstetrics
and gynecology, internal medicine and pediatrics.
