AKYS '24 - Expanding Rural Reach Initiative

Executive Summary

The AKYS '24 campaign marked a significant expansion of our rural outreach capabilities, successfully deploying mobile testing units across 6 communities in Lagos and Ogun states. This initiative demonstrated our commitment to reaching underserved populations with innovative healthcare delivery methods.

Program Highlights
- 1,800+ community members reached across 6 rural locations
- 1,200 comprehensive tests conducted with mobile units
- 360+ positive cases detected and connected to care
- 25 community health workers trained for sustainable impact
- First bilingual education program in Yoruba and English




## Innovation in Rural Healthcare Delivery

### Mobile Testing Units
- Custom-equipped vehicles for rural accessibility
- Solar-powered testing equipment for remote areas
- Trained medical teams for community engagement
- Real-time data collection and transmission

### Community Health Worker Program
- 25 local workers trained and certified
- Ongoing mentorship and support systems
- Community-led education initiatives
- Sustainable healthcare access model




## Impact Across Communities

The program's 30% detection rate, while lower than urban programs, reflects the success of reaching previously unscreened populations in rural areas where awareness was limited.




## Future Expansion Plans

Building on this success, we're planning to expand the mobile unit program to reach 15 additional rural communities across Nigeria by 2025.
