In a groundbreaking initiative aimed at bolstering healthcare across the continent, 3C Digital, dedicated to the humanitarian project Hope for a New Life Africa (HOPENELI Africa), has announced plans to roll out 140 mobile hospitals in twelve African countries.
This project seeks to provide critical medical care to underserved populations while fostering peace and solidarity.
The mobile hospitals, equipped with state-of-the-art medical facilities, will be deployed across Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Eswatini, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Chad. Each of these countries is set to receive 12 mobile medical units as part of the first phase of the initiative.
The deployment of these mobile hospitals marks a significant step towards bridging the healthcare gap in Africa. Each unit is designed to be versatile and equipped to handle a wide range of medical emergencies, ensuring timely and effective treatment for patients.
The Chief Executive Office of 3C Digital Liberia, Ishmael Toe emphasized the transformative impact of this initiative, stating, “These mobile hospitals represent more than just medical facilities; they are symbols of hope and solidarity. Our mission is to ensure that every African, regardless of their circumstances, has access to quality healthcare.”
“The project is expected to commence in the coming months, with logistics and operational planning already underway. HOPENELI Africa has partnered with local governments and community leaders in each beneficiary country to ensure seamless integration and sustained impact”.
“As Africa continues to navigate through health challenges exacerbated by socio-economic factors, the introduction of mobile hospitals by HOPENELI Africa promises to be a beacon of hope, fostering a healthier and more resilient continent”, he added.
Specific Objectives of the Project:
Healthcare Provision: The primary goal is to deliver essential healthcare services to populations in need, especially in remote and underserved areas where access to medical facilities is limited
Promotion of Tolerance and Peace: By operating in diverse communities, the initiative aims to raise awareness about tolerance, coexistence, and peace among people of different backgrounds and cultures.
Platform for Solidarity: Creating a platform of active solidarity to address common challenges, including issues of security, development, and public health across the continent.
Psychological Support: Providing crucial psychological support to individuals affected by various health and socio-economic challenges.
