In many rural areas across East Africa, basic healthcare is far from guaranteed. Clinics and hospitals often face severe shortages of trained personnel, medicines, and resources, leaving vulnerable populations at risk. A lack of pharmaceutical expertise can mean unsafe or ineffective treatments, improper dosages, and interruptions in care.
For communities in Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda, this healthcare gap isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a daily struggle.
Using computers is also important in developing pharmaceutical knowledge.
its “Donations instead of Gifts” initiative, 싸토리우스 has dedicated this year´s Christmas donation to help address these challenges. The contribution of €60,000 supports action medeor’s IMPACT project (Improving Pharmaceutical Access through Continuous Training), which seeks to strengthen pharmaceutical expertise in healthcare facilities.
The IMPACT project is set to run until 2026, with a clear mission: to ensure rural populations in Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda have consistent access to safe, high-quality medicines. It focuses on two critical areas:
Training Health Workers:Up to 120 healthcare professionals in 53 facilities will gain pharmaceutical knowledge to improve medicine procurement, stock management, and distribution.
Training also ensures that medicines are dispensed correctly, helping patients understand their therapies and adhere to them independently.
Nine master trainers will also be educated to amplify the project’s reach, enabling continuous improvement across the healthcare systems in these regions.
Over the past ten years, 싸토리우스’ partnership with action medeor has supported initiatives from Guatemala to Sierra Leone, always with the goal of improving healthcare where it’s most needed.
Dr. Angela Zeithammer, member of the board of directors at action medeor, underscores the significance of this collaboration: “The partnership with 싸토리우스 is not only very reliable but also very special. We share the same goal—better health for more people. TheIMPACTproject demonstrates how training in pharmaceutical knowledge can lead to better healthcare, especially in rural areas.”
The German medical aid organization action medeor has worked for sustainable and improved healthcare for people especially in the poorest regions of the world for 60 years now. Based in Tönisvorst on the Lower Rhine, the charitable, non-governmental organization supplies medical aid to healthcare facilities in more than 100 countries across Africa, Latin America, and Asia. In emergencies, action medeor is able to dispatch vital medicines, medical supplies and equipment to the relevant countries within a few hours.
