GBH works alongside Super Novae to improve access to healthcare in Mayotte

As part of efforts to deal with the devastating effects of Cyclone Chido, followed by the destruction caused by Cyclone Dikeledi, which have created further precarity for already neglected areas, GBH is partnering with Super Novae in order to improve access to healthcare for the territory's most vulnerable groups, by creating a mobile clinic.

A long-term show of support
This project has been financed by a 2-million-euro solidarity fund launched by GBH in order to support Mayotte. It comes on the heels of the 250 tonnes of food and material donations sent in the days immediately following the cyclone.

A mobile clinic in the heart of remote areas
Every day, this mobile clinic will travel through the most remote areas in order to offer free medical appointments, basic healthcare, care for acute conditions and minor injuries, basic emergency treatment and screenings. Up to 2,500 people can be treated per month, which is a real benefit for local residents, but also for local hospitals, which are still under pressure.

Caring, supporting and rebuilding
The Regional Health Agency (ARS) supports this work, which dovetails into a collective drive to provide support for the most vulnerable. As part of a raft of local initiatives already underway, it sets out to increase the availability of essential services in the heart of the most vulnerable areas.
By getting involved in this project, GBH is reaffirming its commitment to solidarity, healthcare for all and the long-term rebuilding of Mayotte.
