Health Programs

1. Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs)

SMAid International has taken up the initiative to combat Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) in Ghana. This is achieved through various means. We educate individuals on NTDs so they can make informed decisions regarding their health. We emphasize the importance of early detection, collaborate with regional and national NTD programs, and implement tangible measures to improve the situation. Our collective objective is to eradicate NTDs from Ghana, ensure access to information, and establish healthcare as a fundamental right. This will contribute to a brighter and healthier future for all.

2. Maternal and Neonatal Health (MnCH)

SMAid International is dedicated to revolutionizing maternal and neonatal health (MnCH) in Ghana, prioritizing the well-being of mothers and their precious newborns. Our program focuses on two critical areas: empowering mothers and ensuring newborn health to reduce maternal mortality and provide a healthier start in life.

Our MnCH effort relies heavily on community involvement to close healthcare access gaps and increase awareness via collaboration with local healthcare providers, community leaders, and health workers. We provide communities with the fundamental information they need to ensure healthy pregnancies, safe births, and healthy newborns.

Our program is built on enabling moms to make informed decisions about their prenatal, delivery, and postnatal care via the use of support groups and counselling sessions. We also promote neonatal health and universal access to prenatal and postnatal care, collaborating with medical professionals to provide babies with the safest and healthiest start possible.

Our unyielding dedication to MnCH is evidence of our progress toward a healthier future. Together, we are leaving a legacy of strength, health, and optimism. Every mother and child deserves to be well and happy, and along with communities and healthcare professionals, we’re working to make that a reality.

3. Reproductive Health and HIV/AIDS Prevention Advocacy

SMAid International leads the charge in promoting healthier communities and empowered lives through its Reproductive Health and HIV/AIDS Prevention Advocacy programs. This initiative is a resolute commitment to providing individuals with the knowledge, tools, and support required to make informed decisions about their reproductive health and prevent the spread of AIDS.

Our Reproductive Health and HIV/AIDS Prevention Advocacy Program is centred on redefining reproductive health in Ghana. It goes beyond medical care, emphasizing empowerment, choice, and agency. Through extensive education and awareness campaigns, we aim to equip individuals with the information they need to take control of their reproductive well-being and advocate for HIV/AIDS prevention.

Education is the linchpin of our advocacy efforts, empowering individuals with knowledge about reproductive health, safe sex practices, and AIDS prevention. We work to break down stigmas, promote open conversations, and create a community where discussing these topics is not only accepted but encouraged.

Our program thrives on community engagement, forging partnerships with local organizations, schools, and healthcare centres to create a network of support. Together, we drive sustained change in attitudes, behaviours, and overall health.

As we journey towards a healthier future, our vision remains unwavering: a world where individuals are empowered to make informed decisions about their reproductive health and equipped with the knowledge to prevent HIV/AIDS. Our advocacy isn’t just for the present; it’s about paving the way for generations to come, where health, well-being, and empowerment are a reality for all. With every partnership, conversation, and life touched, we’re forging a path towards a brighter and healthier tomorrow.
