New Seed Community Clinic

Goals:

To provide a facility that offers critical health care to over 10,000 patients a year in a region with little or no access to doctors or medicines.

Areas of Focus:

Infectious Disease:
Providing trained staff, equipment, supplies and education to address the growing crisis in following: 

• HIV/AIDS
• Tuberculosis
• Malaria 

Pediatric care:
Diarrhea and Malnutrition are the most prominent killers of children. With vitamin, nutritional supplements, and information on a healthy diet in accordance with World Heath Organization standards, the rates of child and infant mortality can be greatly reduced. 

Maternal Health/Obstetrics:
Ghanaian Mothers are twenty times more likely to die during pregnancy than a woman in the U.S. A well-trained midwife and Pre-natal and Post-natal examinations are essential to reversing this trend.
