A lasting impact: The 2021 Annual Report is out
SolidarMed has enabled an increasing number of people to access better healthcare over the years. This is shown by the 2021 Annual Report, which has just been published.
Increasing the number of beneficiaries
Thanks to SolidarMed, 3,092,886 people were able to access better healthcare in 2021 – 300,000 more than in 2020. More people in village communities were reached thanks to more visits, and the population is growing, which means the catchment area for each supported facility is also increasing.
Improving quality of care
Rural Africa is in urgent need of healthcare professionals. In 2021, SolidarMed trained 1,665 healthcare professionals (up from 1,415 in 2020) and provided continuing education for 954 professionals (up from 665 in 2020). This significantly improves the quality of healthcare for rural populations.
Increasing survival chances
An increasing number of people living with HIV in the project regions are now able to access life-saving anti-retroviral therapy thanks to SolidarMed. A total of 74% of all patients now remain in therapy for at least two years. In addition, people are starting their therapy earlier and therefore have better chances of survival.
We would like to thank all donors, members, supporters and partners for their valuable support.
