Impact on Service Coverage and Quality
(Describe) |
The alliance will operate in countries where PSI and Mercy Corps are both currently operating. The alliance is designed to improve the model of delivery of health services to disaster and conflict prone areas. We will provide a full spectrum that includes disaster preparedness, post disaster relief, which is then leveraged into long term effects on the health structure of the entire community. With the establishment of the network of Health Spot franchisees, more people will have access to quality basic health care. |
