BANDA Health cooperates with local churches and helps the Health Ministries BANDA helps these clinics work more efficiently through process consulting and software apps. This allows more people to access the help they so desperately need. BANDA also supports the training of staff at these clinics, enabling them to become more effective and offer their patients higher-quality care.

Here's an insight into working with small clinics.

BANDA Health is a young organization with a big goal: to support over 500 clinics and hospitals in East Africa by 2020.

Currently, the staff consists only of doctors and programmers. Due to high demand, it has become clear that reinforcements are needed on the business side. Therefore, they want to... David to support the team with his skills as a hospital manager.

David will be active on several levels:

  • Consulting for clinics: The clinics and mission hospitals in East Africa are doing incredible work, but they still have a lot to learn from hospitals in Europe. David will contribute his experience in public health in Austria to his work as a consultant for the clinics.
  • Build relationships with more churches, so that many church-run clinics and primary care centers can benefit from BANDA Health's services, and thus reach more patients.
  • Preparing BANDA Health for growth. This means developing and optimizing the organization and internal processes, recruiting new staff, financial stabilization, and other changes necessary for BANDA Health to evolve from a small start-up into a reliable partner for clinics in East Africa.

Here are some examples of how BANDA Health helps:

Establishing a link between rural clinics and experts in the capital cities
