In today’s increasingly globalized world, growing concerns are emerging regarding the health needs of populations in remote, rural communities across the globe. Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the United Nations are working to grow awareness and strengthen healthcare resources in these locations. However, as WHO acknowledges in its bulletins, the lack of health workers and healthcare accessibility in these locales often lead to high, localized mortality rates—and force rural residents to seek healthcare from providers that are far from their areas of residence.
In many developing nations, governmental leaders are aware of these communities’ needs and are taking action via their health policy-directed agencies or departments to improve healthcare in these hard-to-reach areas. In turn, though, these efforts require careful coordination and facilitation for effective service delivery. That is where the unique solutions of Kallo, a health delivery company, come into play.
The company offers a full suite of tailored solutions for efficient healthcare delivery. Kallo’s solutions are designed to easily build on top of and complement existing infrastructures, workflows, and processes. Ultimately, these solutions increase these systems’ uptime and productivity and ensure they are in compliance with international, national, and regional standards. Stringent quality controls within the suite of solutions, in turn, make certain that healthcare delivery remains consistently efficient and focused.
One developing country, the Republic of Guinea in West Africa, has turned to Kallo for assistance in building up its rural healthcare delivery program. In late January 2014, the country’s Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene signed a $200 million supply contract with the company. According to the agreement’s terms, Kallo will provide a range of varied healthcare solutions, including: MobileCare™, RuralCare, hospital information systems, telehealth systems, pharmacy information, disaster management, air and surface patient transportation systems, and clinical training. MobileCare and RuralCare feature mobile and comprehensive solutions for remote and unreached communities, and pre-fabricated, pre-tested, modular, and project-determined healthcare delivery systems, respectively.
Kallo will be putting MobileCare and RuralCare into place in Q1 2014, and will be extending other supplies to the Republic of Guinea’s rural and remote communities for 2 years. In addition to ministries of health, the company also provides congruent, centralized solutions for hospitals, physicians, and other healthcare organizations.
