Ambulance
Many Tuareg live on the limits of poverty and there is a shortage of medical care. Children's and mothers' mortality is high. Every fourth person suffers from malnutrition.
In the local "dispensaires" - a kind of a rudimentary pharmacie - the most simples medicines are lacking as against intestine diseases, malaria and infections. Particularly the children and women of the nomadic clans suffer from shortage of food and malnutrition which may cause lifelong health damage.
ENMIGRAW plans a mobile health station in order to help the nomadic Tuareg families with an elementary health care. The cross-country vehicle equipped as an ambulance visits the nomad families living in far scattered camps in the region of Talak according to a fixed turn.
Where medical help is urgently needed, the „itinerant hospital“ is the only possibilty to assist these people on the spot. With this project ENMIGRAW wants to create the basis of a long term medical care.
It should be without costs to receive medicines and being looked after by a locally trained doctor or a male nurse.
