The problem.
Uganda’s low income & rular population lack access to affordable and quality healthcare.
Uganda’s elderly population is growing, and many are poor and vulnerable.
Existing public and private healthcare facilities don’t serve the unique needs of elderly patients.
The last mile: Mobility is a real limitation for Uganda’s elderly.
Uganda’s demographics are changing
Our country has made great strides in improving life expectancy, but for the eldery and low income in rural and urban communities, this does not necessarily mean more quality of life in the later years.
The Solution
We’ll come to the elderly as opposed to waiting for them in clinics: Tele-health and Home- based care for Uganda’s elderly.
A network of trained health providers, embedded in rural communities, serve as the foot soldiers of service delivery.
Our practitioners operate out of ACHI Community Clinics to provide outpatient care, telehealth services and dispatch support
We’ll set up a financing structure via the ACHI Health Fund where financially able elderly or their family members or well wishers can make advance annual contributions to the fund for future healthcare needs of their elderly.
Financing structure
• Elders can contribute to the
ACHI Family Health Fund based on
their household income, OR a
financially able family member can
contribute on behalf of the
elder
• The ultra poor elderly receive
care support from our grantbased
programs.
• Under the ACHI scheme: Cared for
under parent’s coverage up to 3
children each.
• Not in the ACHI scheme; Parents
pay out of pocket
Pays premiums for the ACHI Family
Health Fund for the whole family:
• Elders •
Adults(Self) • 3 Children -
covered under parents’ premium.
• Not under ACHI; Pays out of
pocket for all care
