The current global public health emergencies have highlighted the urgency and importance of HEART FIRST AID AFRICA's mission and goals, necessitating a greater need for health education, health promotion, and disease prevention measures in health-deprived communities.

We have dedicated both our time and resources to ensure the success of the community health projects we have hosted, and we have done so without any outside donations or contributions, demonstrating our commitment to our mission. Now, with our plans to expand our services, we hope that you will join us in our mission to improve public health conditions in the African communities we serve. We believe that a collective commitment to the wellbeing of those communities is the best way to ensure lasting change. We 'd be honored to have your support with our health campaigns:

Access to healthcare can be a challenge in underserved communities, but there are a variety of barriers that contribute to this difficulty. Income level and culture can be factors. Many individuals and families in these communities may not have the means to receive proper healthcare, while cultural traditions can discourage the soliciting of medical care. Additionally, there may be a lack of healthcare providers in the area due to limited resources or even a lack of willingness among healthcare providers to travel to these communities. Finally, access to information and education can also be factors because there are people in underserved communities who may not understand the importance of preventive care.

Rural communities in Africa should not be forgotten in responses to COVID‐19

Rural areas in Africa make up a large proportion of the continent. Since the emergence of COVID‐19 on the continent, major attention and responses have been placed on urban areas. Rural areas are typified by certain challenges which may serve as limitations to the provision of resources and tools for COVID‐19 responses in these areas. These major challenges include limited access to these areas due to poor road networks which may hamper the possibility of conveying resources and manpower. Shortage of healthcare workforce in these areas, poor health facilities/structures and limited access to COVID‐19 diagnostics services may also make containment challenging. It is therefore important that investment should be made in these areas towards providing the necessary tools, resources, and manpower to ensure effective containment of COVID‐19 and to alleviate the plight caused by the pandemic in rural Africa. Rural communities in Africa should not be left behind in COVID‐19 responses.
