Medical
The Medical focus group is one of the significant focus areas which the under privileged churches and communities need most in their day to day lives. Zealous will prioritize this focus area since it is a healthy person who will mostly harvest the talents within the Body of Christ. The Zealous Medical Team comprises three projects namely.
- Zealous Health Education and Advocacy
- Zealous Mobile Clinic
- Zealous Joy After sliding
This is to improve the quality, availability, and effectiveness of educational and community-based programs designed to prevent diseases, improve health, and enhance quality of life.
Zealous will assist to:
- catalyze significant advances in strengthening health education by supporting grassroot partnerships with local churches that will implement and lead sustainable health initiatives, preventative health care, promote health, and manage chronic conditions in underserved and rural areas;
- Train locals directly for the delivery of integrated primary healthcare in Africa, by increasing linkages of people to services and resources, that improves population health through the development and support of community actions that address social determinants.
- Replicate, evaluate, and scale up interventions that achieve measurable, health improvements that engage in mental health programs that include the development of prosocial behaviors, stress management skills, and control of stress.
- Improve the quality and safety life-style practices, by engaging in harvesting and disseminating new ideas and the spread of best practices, within Africa.
Zealous Medical team will support community-based partnerships (churches and outreach programs). Mobile healthcare will be brought to the doorsteps of most communities and medical awareness will significantly improve. Through the partnerships it will expand and improve access to preventive services, home and community-based services and social supports. Community support actions will be put in place to address social determinants of health and improve health-related infrastructure.
Zealous Medical will also engage in mental health programs that include the development of prosocial behaviors, stress management skills, and control of stress.
