Nouns Fund Healthcare :Rebuild a Nigeria village health centre to Nouns health centre

Description
TL:DR
We are seeking $152,906 USDC to modernize Robinyan Health Centre in Ogun State, Nigeria, by creating essential facilities and building more than 10 rooms including a reception area, waiting and consultation rooms, examination and treatment rooms, a laboratory/testing area, pharmacy/dispensing area, imaging room(s), patient recovery area, accessible restrooms for patients and staff, staff break room/lounge, office space for administration tasks, storage rooms for medical supplies,an Ambulance bus, toilets for staff and patients.

Story behind this prop

Robinyan health centre is a public health centre which is manage and controlled by the local government , king of robinyan land and local communities. Robinyan health center faces significant healthcare challenges due to limited access in rural areas, deteriorating facilities, inadequate resource allocation by the government, and insufficient health education, necessitating urgent investments to improve infrastructure and services.

In today's world, access to quality healthcare is essential for every community. We are excited to propose the construction of a new healthcare centre equipped with the latest medical technology and instruments. This facility will serve our community by providing essential health services, improving overall well-being, and ensuring that everyone has access to quality care.

Benefits of the Health Centre

• Improved Access to Healthcare: Residents will have local access to necessary medical services without traveling long distances.

• Latest Medical Technology: With cutting-edge equipment, we can provide better diagnosis and treatment options.

• Community Wellness Programs: By offering educational programs on preventive care, we can promote healthier lifestyles in our community.
