At least half of the world’s population cannot obtain essential health services and nearly half of all deaths occur in children under five years of age as a result of the cumulative effect of protein-calorie malnutrition, parasitic infections, gastrointestinal diseases and other supervening infections.
Many people especially in the developing world struggle to fund even the most basic of medical treatments, often resulting in a worsening of the condition. Health care is a basic human right; yet thousands don’t have access to any health facilities
Without health care, children can never reach their full potential and without a healthy, productive population, societies will never realise their aspirations.
“Whoever relieves a hardship for a fellow Muslim, Allah will relieve them from a hardship on the Day of Judgement.” [Muslim]
Children’s Aid work in a number of countries supporting vital access to healthcare and medicines for the poor. By supporting our Medical Aid appeal you will help more people to live a healthy, long life free of disease and hardship.
Millions of people are unable to pay for essential medical care and procedures, yet many more are unable to pay for vital medicines often resulting in a worsening of their condition. We work with the poor and needy across several countries to ensure they can access vital health services and pay for essential medicines.
