Among the many concerns that come with a globalized world, growing are concerns regarding the health needs of remote populations in rural communities across the globe. Organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations are working to grow awareness and strengthen healthcare resources in these locations. But as the WHO acknowledges in its bulletins, the lack of healthcare accessibility and the workers providing it within these areas often leads to high, localized mortality rates—and forces rural residents to find healthcare from providers that are far from the areas they call home.
In many developing nations, governmental leaders are aware of these communities’ needs and are taking action via their health agencies or departments to improve healthcare in these hard-to-reach areas. These efforts require careful coordination and facilitation for effective service delivery. Kallo, a health delivery company, is focused on these dynamic, logistical challenges.
The company offers solutions for efficient healthcare delivery. More specifically, these solutions are designed to add to and complement existing infrastructures and processes. Ultimately, these solutions improve the existing systems’ uptime, productivity, and efficiency rates and ensure they are in compliance with international, national, and regional standards. Stringent quality controls within the suite of solutions make certain that healthcare delivery remains consistently efficient and accomplishes what it is designed to do.
Most notably, 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.
“The Republic of Guinea has recently made great strides in its healthcare infrastructure development, and this is an important step towards WHO’s Millennium Development Goals for Guinea.” Said Mr. John Cecil, Chairman and CEO of Kallo Inc. In December of 2013, following meetings between Mr. Cecil and the Government of Guinea, Honorable Docteur Edouard Niankoye LAMA, Guinea’s Minister of Health announced that Guinea would implement a unique healthcare delivery program to bring a higher standard of health services to its rural population and accelerate the progress towards its Millennium Development Goals.
