Yet the developing nations of Africa, bombarded by a myriad of critical national priorities, have failed to provide the most basic health services to their rural communities. Much of rural Africa suffers from an inadequate health care infrastructure to plan, coordinate, and deliver the necessary health care services. Most rural dwellers in these nations are forced to seek health care in the cities. Lack of transportation or impassable roads may determine whether the individual lives or dies. Prenatal and postnatal care for mothers and infants is virtually nonexistent in rural areas.
Infant mortality is frighteningly common.
Preventable and treatable infectious diseases are rampant, resulting in an abysmally low life expectancy rate in rural areas. CRHP will deliver information on good nutrition, hygiene, and medically-related services directly to rural communities. Working directly with community leaders, CRHP will develop the best ways and means to deliver services. CRHP will also serve as a liaison between non-governmental and governmental institutions.
