Every child has the right to access quality healthcare services that promote their well-being and ensure their survival. ACRIF is committed to providing comprehensive healthcare solutions that encompass preventive, promotive, curative, and rehabilitative care. Our approach focuses on improving the health outcomes of vulnerable children, adolescents, and women of reproductive age, ensuring they receive the necessary medical attention and support to thrive.
We work to address the leading causes of maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent illness and mortality through a holistic strategy that integrates behavior change, community system strengthening, and health system improvements. By advocating for better healthcare policies and fostering partnerships with local and international stakeholders, ACRIF ensures that families, communities, and service providers are equipped with the resources and knowledge needed to enhance health and well-being.
To make healthcare more accessible, ACRIF supports mobile health teams, strengthens local health facilities, and enhances healthcare workers’ capacities through training and mentorship programs. We also emphasize preventive healthcare, including vaccination campaigns, nutrition support, and awareness programs on communicable and non-communicable diseases. Through targeted interventions in child and neonatal health, emergency healthcare response, and maternal and reproductive health, ACRIF is creating lasting change in the healthcare landscape, ensuring that every child can grow up healthy, resilient, and with access to the care they deserve.
ACRIF focuses on comprehensive healthcare programs that address the unique needs of children. We provide immunizations, regular health check-ups, and treatment for common childhood illnesses throughout multiple health facilities at both national and regional level sites. Our programs also include health education for children and their caregivers, promoting healthy lifestyles and preventive care.
ACRIF provides prenatal and postnatal care, and education on reproductive health. Maternal and reproductive health is a critical component of our healthcare programs. We aim to reduce maternal and infant mortality by ensuring that women have access to skilled healthcare providers, safe delivery services, and the knowledge to make informed decisions about their reproductive health.
Health emergencies, such as disease outbreaks or natural disasters, children are particularly vulnerable. ACRIF Implements emergency response programs that providing immediate medical care, nutritional support, and psychosocial services. We also work on strengthening health systems to better prepare for and respond to future emergencies, ensuring that children’s health needs are met promptly and effectively.
