In Nicoadala District, with support from the Provincial Health Department (DPS), C-Saúde has implemented various strategies to improve the quality of health services. In line with local socio-economic characteristics, C-Saúde has contributed to the provision of health care in a timely manner, in accordance with the needs and expectations of patients, as guided by the Ministry of Health in its policy on Quality and Humanisation of Health Service Provision. The main aim of the initiative is to guarantee wider access to healthcare for the entire community. As well as increasing the supply of health services, the initiative seeks to raise the quality of care provided, helping to overcome the low culture of care in health units and increasing the number of people tested and who know their serological status.
Through the Qualy campaign, C-Saúde is reaffirming its commitment to promoting health as a fundamental right for all and is seeking to strengthen the population’s trust in the health services it offers. With this, it contributes to achieving the HIV response targets set by the MoH, which aim to eliminate the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the country as a public health problem by 2030.
During the Qualy campaign, health fairs are held in the neighbourhoods and localities adjacent to the health units supported by C-Saúde in the Nicoadala district. Various health services are made available, such as tuberculosis screening
Through the Retratistas group, theatre plays are disseminated to educate the community about health care
In addition, community dialogue sessions, radio programmes and spots, theatre plays and training for community and religious leaders are carried out to increase knowledge about health and their capacity to articulate health needs with health committees and services. The Qualy campaign demonstrates a significant commitment to health promotion and community well-being in the Nicoadala district.
