                                         MAKING PRIMARY HEALTH CARE WORK

AMURT is making health care accessible and affordable in a country where 19% of all global maternal deaths occur and 1 in 10 children won't reach their 5th birthday.

Since 2010, AMURT Nigeria has set up rural health centres in some of the poorest, most remote communities of Ebonyi State.  To date over 31,000 babies have been born in the health centres we assist. Meeting a critical need, AMURT has made emergency obstetric care available in four of the ten AMURT assisted health centres, and has completed over 1,700 caesarean sections.

The new decentralised model of primary healthcare pioneered by AMURT Nigeria gives the local community opportunity to initiate, manage and take ownership of the health centres in partnership with AMURT and the government.  Most staff in each health centre come from the local community. In this partnership model, community participation and capacity building have been at the heart of the strategy. Through close monitoring, tight financial management, and a cooperative approach, the AMURT assisted health centres have achieved a high level of self-reliance. By strengthening primary healthcare at the facility level, we reduce dependency and achieve true development. We have made strides towards long term sustainability by strengthening the partnership with government.  As government assumes the greater burden for staff and supervision,  AMURT becomes free to respond to requests from other communities that don't have access to primary healthcare services.
