    opening a free clinic

    Opening a free clinic is one of the most humanitarian ways of giving back to the community. The community particularly the low income citizens are searching for means to provide easy and affordable healthcare to. This has come as a result of employers reducing employee’s benefits due to a failing economy this in turn causing the cost of obtaining a medical insurance cover very expensive. Opening a free clinic may stand to achieve and benefit the community by providing these primary medical attention to the underprivileged in the community. The development of a free medical clinic solely depends on the support of the community at large. It takes a group of self -driven and compassionate individuals with a vision, aspiration and commitment to help the uninsured. Nevertheless, starting a clinic may not be simple as it takes numerous procedures that may include; sourcing supplies, legal arrangements, recruiting of volunteers, identifying viable funding raising mechanisms and identifying a reliable consultancy team that will help in accounting, insurance and legal matters. This however depends on whether the clinic will be individually owned or collaboration with organizations such as Volunteers in Health Care (VIH) and Volunteers in Medicine that assist societies to start free clinics.…

    Freedom Beyond Mountains

    Both PIH and BRAC were founded by passionate individuals who wanted to make positive changes to people’s health and lives. They were both founded on the basis of one of the core principles of global health: public health is not medicine. PIH was founded in 1987 in Haiti, at the hands of Paul Farmer, Ophelia Dahl, and Jim Kim, about two years after the Clinique Bon Saveur was initiated in Cange. BRAC was founded in 1972 in Bangladesh, at the hands of Fazle Hasan Abed, and started out with emergency programs in Sulia following the devastating war. The roots of PIH can be found in a community-based approach to health care and socioeconomic support with emphasis on preferential options for the poor. BRAC, on the other hand, defines itself primarily as a developmental organization dedicated to fighting poverty as a way to empower the poor to bring change into their own lives. Financially, both organizations rely heavily upon donor funding; but PIH’s annual budget is around $65 million U.S. dollars while BRAC’s annual budget is around $495 million U.S. dollars. In terms of scope and scale, both organizations began working in one country (Haiti and Bangladesh respectively), expanded to other regions within that country, and eventually expanded to a total of ten countries around the world, including countries in Africa and Asia. However, when considering the scale of each organization’s operations, it seems that BRAC pursues a wider breadth of projects. BRAC (with a whopping 110 million staff and volunteers!) believes in promoting development and tackling poverty through a variety of projects, including not only tackling disease and…

    Women In Public Realm Case Study

    In an Asian Indian context, women are more likely to be responsible for child bearing and management of household and are hence expected to be confined to private realm, in contrast to men who are money making workers. Hence urban spaces in a city evolved without considering women as part of its functioning. Women tend to use more of designated public spaces that confirm to their gender roles. A medical precinct, revolving around the functioning of one or more medical institutions, is a gendered space and an extension of the care giving responsibility where most of the patients are accompanied by women. This study probes into the issues faced by women in a medical precinct taking the Trivandrum Medical College as an example, in order to…

    How a Clinic Works

    Background: Over the past month, I was given the assignment of completing an in-depth report comprising of 20 questions pertaining to the various aspects of a clinic. These questions covered a wide range of medical as well as administrational topics, ranging from the organizational structure of the clinic to the diseases that it treated and the lab tests that it carried out. The extensive research that I have done over the past month has greatly improved my knowledge not only of the clinic but also of the medical profession as a whole. Visiting various departments of the clinic and meeting with a few of the physicians, although very briefly, has only intensified my love of the medical profession and for this, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Mohamed Bessou the Regional Director of Medical Centers – Abu Dhabi and Ms. Paula Marie Manoop for taking time out of their busy schedules to provide me with this wonderful opportunity.…
