Bicycles Saving Lives: Health Volunteers Fill Critical Gaps in Upper East.
In Ghana's Upper East Region, inadequate health infrastructure has left many remote communities with little access to basic healthcare. To bridge this gap, community health volunteers, equipped with bicycles, have stepped in. These volunteers travel to underserved areas, educating residents on health issues and assisting in emergencies, especially for vulnerable groups like pregnant women and children. Trained by UNICEF and the Ghana Health Service, their efforts have improved health outcomes, including higher immunization rates and reduced preventable diseases like malaria.
