Organizations Filed Purposes:
We treat the sick and strengthen health systems serving Africans most in need.
Through our new Clinical Support Team (CST) Program, we sent teams of licensed Ugandan clinicians to 20 different rural health centers for 2 months at a time to treat patients in need. Each CST includes 7 clinicians (doctors, nurses, and midwives) and costs $21,000 for 2 months. We partnered with Wakiso District surrounding Kampala for the June-September placements, followed by Budaka in the east and Bunyangabu in the west for October and November.
During the 2 months each Clinical Support Team spends at our partner health centers, Bulamu's team also begins to install our Health Center Excellence (HCE) program, which we continue to support after our clinicians have departed. HCE clinic management improvements include: standard treatment forms for recording patient history and treatment; equipment and training to take vital signs; and timely systemic data to help local health and administrative leaders set management priorities. We extended HCE program practices from 27 public hospitals and clinics at the beginning of 2020 to 39 facilities at year-end, which together serve more than 400,000 patients annually. ? To give one example of the HCE program's impact: by providing the necessary medical devices and training, our program has moved the rate of taking vital signs in 2020 from less than 5% previously to an average of 65% at our partner health centers.
In June we launched our Emergency Transport Program, providing ambulance services to 302 patients (about 50 patients each month) for a cost of $25 per trip. This is a crucial benefit wherever public health centers have no budget for this service, as it can make the difference between life and death. Our 5-day Surgery Intensives brought teams of experienced Ugandan surgeons with needed equipment and supplies, who operated on about 200 patients each time. Because we rely entirely on local staffing and use existing government health facilities, the average cost was $112 per surgery. Including 77 Angel Program surgeries we sponsored at specialty acute care hospitals, Bulamu provided 2,604 surgeries for low-income patients in 2020, an 82% increase over 2019. 2020 YEAR-END HIGHLIGHTS We treat the sick and strengthen health systems serving Africans most in need. 83,163 Primary Care Patients Treated 2,604 Surgeries Performed 39 Partner Health Centers for HCE Management Program.
