The project was carried out in cooperation with St. Elizabeth University of Health and Social Sciences, n.o. Its aim was the purchase of a mobile clinic and its equipment (instruments, stretchers, medication, medical supplies), the purchase of vaccines, a refrigerator for storing vaccines and medication, and supporting the running and maintenance of the mobile clinic. The mobile clinic vehicle was purchased in 2008.
During the course of the project, weekly trips were made with the mobile clinic to four villages in Gumbo-Juba. The doctors thus visited 600–800 families whose members needed treatment. The aims achieved by the project include reducing child mortality, improving the health of mothers, and providing adequate healthcare to patients suffering from HIV/AIDS, malaria and other illnesses. The mobile clinic continues to operate in the area.
The project was supported from the state budget of the Slovak Republic through the SlovakAid official development assistance programme with the sum of EUR 109,680.
