Another busy year

In 2019, MAI continued to support the Community Caregivers team in Embo, South Africa to provide home-based care to patients living with HIV, as well as covering the costs of maintenance, security, the TB nurse and patient transport at the Embo Primary Healthcare Clinic.

The clinic’s nursing staff, medicines and consumables are all funded by the local Health Authority. We are working with ECC to establish local revenue streams to support the work in the longer term.

MAI supporters helped the Embo Community Health Team to manage 100 patient visits a day at the clinic, and to care for another 167 patients at home– a 30% increase on the previous year.
