Imagine not being able to go to the doctor when you're unwell or to the dentist when you have a toothache.
This is the reality many people in India and other developing countries face. They simply don't have access to every day health services that most Australians take for granted.
Equal Health is a secular not for profit, volunteer organisation, that provides free multi-disciplinary health care to people in need, in developing countries, who would generally not have access to such services.
This is made possible by the hundreds of Australian health professionals volunteers, who donate their time, skills and resources to participate in short-term international assignments, together with generous contributions of donors from around the country.
The optical, dental, allied health and medical health care makes a lasting difference to people's lives.
Equal Health brings …
- sight to the blind,
- relief from dental pain,
- freedom of movement for people with disabilities, and
- improved health.
However, with large crowds attending Equal Health's make shift clinics in remote villages, in community halls or even under the shade of a tree, many people are unable to be treated.
We need your help to do more. Much needed funds are required to further Equal Health's valuable work well into the future.
Your donation will be instrumental in providing life changing appointments to some of the world's most vulnerable people.
