Health Care
Overview:
Delivering quality healthcare in fragile settings requires a daily balancing act for both patients and providers. The communities Al Rahmat serves are often surrounded by life-threatening events that result in physical and emotional wounds, and security makes it challenging to seek treatment.
These populations are additionally burdened by chronic poverty and shortages of basic necessities such as food, clean water and safe sanitation – leaving them with little resilience to withstand poor health.
