Healthcare

Professional healthcare does not exist in most of the communities we work in.

We provide accessible healthcare to the communities we partner with. We aim to keep families healthy and free from treatable diseases.

Doctor giving exam

Rainbow Network doctors travel to each community to hold mobile medical clinics and prescribe medications to treat basic health issues. We also employ one ultrasound specialist, who provides timely diagnoses and helps patients connect with a specialist, if needed.

We are committed to quality care.

In circumstances that surpass basic healthcare, we assign patients to our Medical Needs program.

In this program, patients receive financial support for specialist exams and procedures as well as assistance with scheduling appointments, transportation and navigating the public healthcare system.

From 85% malnutrition rate to <5%.

Malnutrition has nearly been knocked out in our partner communities.

ELC colectivo holding food

Preventative health and proper nutrition are key steps in community development.

Our doctors holds public health seminars regularly to educate people on safe sanitation practices, nutrition, growing a family garden, teeth brushing, parasite prevention, and more.

We also operate nutrition centers, where people can receive a nutritious meal every weekday. Volunteers in the community prepare these meals for children, at-risk elderly and pregnant & nursing mothers.

Children receive routine height and weight checks from our doctors, and children who are malnourished receive extra food and regular check ups to track their progress.

Through these efforts, many of our partner communities have seen malnutrition rates drop from 85% to less than 5%!
