DISTRICT HOSPITAL MAMFEBy employing preventive health care practices, MEDWC hopes to improve the health care delivery system in Manyu Division. We strongly belief that preventive health care practices can both be taught and implemented as an integral part of prolonging human life. Care in maintaining and preserving the quality of our water supply, preparation of food, use of family planning techniques, education on HIV/AIDS and preventive medicine would all substantially reduce the high morbidity and mortality rates among our people.
Health care therefore, is of critical need in Manyu as primary health facilities are lacking and unequipped with modern equipments and medicine. In order to implement a comprehensive health education/care program aimed at the various villages in the region, MEDWC organizes an ambitious health fair during its bi-annual conferences by working closely with Manyu medical experts in diagnosis, treatment and distribution of free medication to the community.
Over the many years, Dr. Robinson Mbu and Dr. Enow Orock have led this effort in bringing a team of season medical professionals to conduct health campaigns during the various conferences. The success of the health fair can only be measured by the number of villagers who trek many miles to reach the conference grounds. Patients are screened for diabetes, hypertension, malaria, HIV and receive free medication donated by non profit organizations such as E-Meditech in the USA.
