Wholesome Health

We believe that good health encompasses Medical & Social wellbeing.

“We cannot say someone is healthy when they struggle to eat three square meals or have no shirt on their back. To say we have impacted health, we have to go beyond medical health to touch on social health as well.”

– Dr Pat Asadu

The Problem

There are numerous issues facing healthcare in the world today but for the rural communities, even minor ailments like malaria or dehydration which would be cured in a matter of days in the urban communities could take weeks to recover without treatment and death in extreme cases.

This Wholesome Health Programme was developed considering 2 principal drivers for change that guide our actions and projects:

Our Solution

To combat these drivers and promote our belief of health going beyond medicine, three projects have been initiated. The WHP framework will enable additional projects to be included if they contribute to the outcomes and benefits for this programme.
