Door to Door Health
Initially solving a need that the most needy communities need so much that the presence of someone who can provide early follow-up, guidance to a layer of the population that often fails to take care of health due to neglect of better guidance in a timely manner. The scale of the problem is huge, based on poor communities and favelas in Brazil, we can say that it is a very large global scale that only local governments do not have the arms (conditions) to solve without the involvement of the local community, in fact where cases of diseases and / or survey of diagnoses occurs. We can see that in each region of the world where poor communities are present, we consider 50% of the population in these areas. The Family Health strategy allows families in a given region to be monitored more closely, even more so by a person from the community (who is already known), guiding them to carry out health prevention actions, whose actions are perfectly suited to that area. region, ends up offering a much more positive effect on the local population.
The proposed solution is that using the UBS = Basic Health Units, as we call it here in Brazil as an example, they are the ones that make contact with the population at first. The problem is that when patients arrive at the UBS, they already arrive in a slightly serious condition, or very serious. Our solution seeks to anticipate this arrival at the UBS preventively, by anticipating the door-to-door visit of the Health agent who, through follow-up, will not only be able to anticipate this visit to the UBS, or even avoid it due to the preventive measures taken.
The Door to Door Health proposal aims and will directly serve the poorest population of our country, rural communities where access is more difficult, the outskirts of intermediate cities with a population of up to 50,000 inhabitants, population of men, women , Elderly, Youth and Children. Currently, they are served, but with a lot of deficiency, as governments do not have the conditions to provide preventive health care, as is our Door to Door Health proposal.
The organization feels ready to execute the program, our team aware of the work and goals within what we aim to achieve. As for health agents, there is a large supply of labor in the beneficiary municipalities. The communities are already known by our team and we will pass all the methodology of the work to the Health agents who will be hired within the criterion that each agent will only provide services in the area of the territory of their municipality of origin. The community leaders are already known personalities, in every community it is very easy to find the leaders for a work of this nature, so that we feel fully capable of carrying out the work of the Saúde de Porta em Porta project proposed here with responsibility
- Improve accessibility and quality of health services for underserved groups in fragile contexts around the world (such as refugees and other displaced people, women and children, older adults, LGBTQ+ individuals, etc.)
- Brazil
- Prototype: A venture or organization building and testing its product, service, or business model, but which is not yet serving anyone
Precisely the implementation of the Family Health program by the government of Brazil in 1994, as a way of improving primary care for the population, within the idea of strengthening territories in the area of health, but we saw that the work and its results could be very It would be better if the actors belonged to the actions' own territories, a fact that did not happen, while our Door to Door Health Proposal seeks exactly the union of the actors (communities, health agents, and directly beneficiary population.
To answer with sincerity, we can say that the organization Instituto Tassio Rocha does not serve this public with this action, but is ready to do so.
We are signing up for the challenge for several reasons, as we cite here the main ones:
One: As you may be aware, the health conditions of the Brazilian people are among the worst in the world, despite the SUS System, which is the salvation of the poorest;
Two: Applying a project of this nature, developing, coordinating is not a task considered to be so difficult, it is a fully possible exec action;
Three: The barriers are actually financial, the others are not barriers considered invincible, but with the capacity to be overcome;
Four: It will be a proposal that is highly acceptable to the community, due to the direct involvement of the community, given that each health agent will be active, caring for and defending their territory, their local community;
Five: We are looking exactly for the support of Solve, in terms of raising funds so that we can apply and develop the Saúde de Porta em Porta proposal
- Business Model (e.g. product-market fit, strategy & development)
- Financial (e.g. accounting practices, pitching to investors)
