About the Organization
On Call Africa is a small Scottish Charity that aims to strengthen rural health systems in Zambia. Established in 2010 by volunteer doctors and international development experts from the UK, the organization aims to improve access to healthcare in remote rural communities through mobile medical clinics run by UK doctors. Over the last 10 years we have developed a more robust and sustainable approach to strengthening rural health systems.
We do this by improving access to quality health care as close to the home as possible through improvement of WASH in rural healthcare facilities; building capacity within the health system through the provision of training and resources (such as power, infrastructure, transport and quality improvement at rural health facilities); and the development of national standardized Community Health Worker (CHW) programmes. Our approach is tailored to the needs of each community that we work with. We aim to document and share learning from our community-led approach to health system strengthening
