Our Health Centres provide children with vaccinations
against Polio, Diphteria, Pertussis, Tetanus, Tuberculosis and
Measles. Each of these 594 children received multiple shots,
ensuring that they have full cover against these diseases.
Our current strategy is to provide comprehensive
support to our central villages in each of our four pillars,
so in order to provide outreach villages with health
assistance we carry out community health clinics with
qualified health personnel. At these clinics we immunize
children, deliver basic health care and advice, and also
raise awareness about the health facilities in central
villages for more serious health problems.

The number of supervised births refers to those women who received
assistance from trained personnel during pregnancy, labour and the
postpartum period. When a trained health worker is present at the birth of a
child, it significantly decreases complications which can result in death, and
also connects new mothers with post-natal services.
“THE MANNYA HEALTH CENTRE
PROVIDES PEOPLE WITH A
PLACE TO COME AND ACCESS
CARE WHEN THEY NEED IT.
CHILDREN CAN BE IMMUNISED
TO PREVENT FUTURE ILLNESS,
AND MOTHERS ARE CARED
FOR WHICH MEANS THERE
ARE MORE HEALTHY BABIES.”

Testing for HIV is a critical step in helping people accept the illness, gain treatment, and prevent
the spread further in the community. With the new HIV Health Centre opened in December 2015,
we expect to provide HIV services to up to 13% of the total population within our catchment area
(which is the estimated proportion living with HIV).
