COMMUNITY HEALTH

Goal 3 of the Global Agenda 2030 (“Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”) requires investment in resilient community health systems. In low-income countries, health systems often face significant challenges. Therefore, community health is crucial. MMI implements community health programs in all the countries where it is present (Brazil, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Kenya, and Mozambique), always looking for collaborations with local authorities responsible for public health at the community level.

To promote community health and achieve effective results, it is crucial to be present in the communities, close to the most vulnerable, especially women and children in urban peripheries and rural areas, where disparities in access to services are more severe. Community involvement not only increases the effectiveness of health actions but also contributes to creating a sense of responsibility and empowerment. By sharing knowledge and preventing diseases, significant progress can be achieved towards the goal of granting equal access to quality health services for all people.
