HEALTH IN EVERY\u00a0HUT<\/h2>\n

Our flagship Heath In Every Hut programme spans an area of about 200 square kms\u00a0in the deeply rural Mbashe region of the Eastern Cape. This programme was initially located in the Bomvana, Hobeni, Madwaleni and Melitafa clinic catchment areas, but has since been expanded to also include the Soga, Nkanya and Xhora clinic areas. Our work includes clinic support at all seven\u00a0of these facilities.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1477380520121{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.7) !important;*background-color: rgb(255,255,255) !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

TB\/DRUG-RESISTANT TB<\/h2>\n

The Donald Woods Foundation is partnering with the Eastern Cape Department of Health to strengthen the province\u2019s decentralised tuberculosis programme at a\u00a0specialist\u00a0TB facility\u00a0in East London and Mdantsane.<\/p>\n

DWF\u2019s Drug-Resistant TB Project deploys more than 20\u00a0health workers at Nkqubela TB Hospital in Mdantsane and at 36 local clinics where they assist with direct observation of treatment, peer education and setting up and managing support groups.<\/p>\n

In addition to their work at the hospitals and clinics, some of the health promoters are also working in Fort Glamorgan and Mdantsane prisons, where they assist with screening and raising TB awareness.<\/p>\n

TB and diabetes screening is also\u00a0a vital component of the Health in Every Hut programme in Mbashe. The Foundation is also forging stronger links with the Madwaleni Hospital’s TB team to assist with case finding and follow up care.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner] <\/div>\r\n [\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
