E HealthPoint is a sustainable social business enterprise that has the goal of catalytically transforming rural & peri-urban healthcare in ways that support the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by employing a service delivery model that uniquely leverages technology in Healthcare, ICT and Water Sectors , thereby demonstrating demonstrating a sustainable service model to both public health authorities and capital markets . E HealthPoint intends to reach 100 Million beneficiaries by the year 2020
Our approach to both preventive and treatment services is enabling our customers to avoid expensive trips to cities, avoiding days lost at school or work, and preventing or ameliorating illness that could otherwise lead to suffering, hospitalization, lower productivity, and needless deaths. Through our extensive behavior-change social marketing, and presence of our modern facility, we are also gradually changing expectations and behaviors, which is key to permanent improvements in public health. Moreover, by building and equipping an E Health Point in a village, we are creating a missing permanent healthcare delivery infrastructure—and one that is sustainable and therefore scalable. Specifically some of the positive impact areas & benefits that would accrue are - Savings to clients , Employment opportunities in the Local Area , Enhanced productivity of clients , early stage diagnosis of potentially life-threatening diseases/ailments , reduction of load on government health services
