Too many of the world's poor still lack access to basic life-saving resources like clean water or medical oxygen. Health Builders’ goal is to ensure rural communities have access to equipment and technology, reaching the people who need them most.
With appropriate, simple and affordable equipment and technology, health care workers can better track data and make accurate diagnoses, ultimately saving lives.
Too many of the world's poor still lack access to basic life-saving resources like clean water or medical oxygen. Health Builders’ goal is to ensure rural communities have access to equipment and technology, reaching the people who need them most.
Each community has a unique set of needs, and it is important to Health Builders that they have the tools necessary to provide consistent and sustainable health care services to the people they serve. Therefore, we ask communities what technology and equipment they need and then help them acquire and install these items, ensuring that they are simple to operate and inexpensive to maintain. We will also continue to provide technical assistance and on-site repair services as needed, long after equipment has been installed.
Our technology projects and equipment are provided completely free to the local districts and health centers, thanks to our partnerships with various organizations including the GE Foundation, UNICEF, the Center for Global Safe Water at Emory University, the Rwandan Ministry of Health and others. In many cases, health centers can build revenue-generating systems with the equipment provided.
