Community Home-based Care

Chronically ill patients are identified and followed up by the hospital staff and then visited frequently by groups of voluntiers composed by Peer Educators, Community Health Workers, Trained Traditional Birth Attendants, Church Leaders, and Community Councellors.

The group members visit the patients and teach their family members how to care for their chronically ill relative. They also offer medical, spiritual and psychosocial care.

Food supplements are given to needy patients and If necessary the patient is referred to the hospital for further management.
