VISION

This is our response to God’s heart for the overwhelming needs of mothers and children in the Indian Ocean Gateway. We offer primary health care and birth attendant training and have now seen the vision expand to include the establishment of 100 mother and child care clinics. Come with us to pioneer and train local health care workers for these clinics.

ABOUT

A lack of health care skills and knowledge causes more than 11 million unnecessary deaths per year.-UNCEF Through health education, statistics like these can change, and lives can be transformed.

The 100 clinic vision was birthed out of years of working with poor communities. The vision:

"To know health and make health known"

It is a simple three week training seminar made available to communities and people who are committed to see the ongoing health of their area decline in death and disease over a 24 month period

Promoting basic health education using simple health messges. Working with local health care workers and community members to attain a measurable decrease in illness and death over a 24 month period

YWAM Perth will do this through an initial seminar and follow-up with twice a week visits by local health trainees and two six month visits by health care mentors.

Simple Seminar types are:
1. Women's Group
2. Men's Group
3. Pregnancy Group

Major disease seminars are also covered
1. Malaria Group
2. AIDS Group
3. Respiratory Group

The 100 clinic vision is not a building, or a long line of people waiting to be seen by a health care worker, but simply, someone who has taken responsibility over the health care needs of their community! and is willing to take their own training and multiply it in their location by training others

We want to see hundreds of clinics established!!!

Mother and Child Health 'Clinics' have been established in Durban, Kenya and Myanmar
