Our communities face diverse health challenges and our programs are suited to both areas. These health challenges include high maternal and child mortality, infectious and parasitic diseases, malnutrition and sexually transmitted diseases. These challenges are more drastic in isolated, poverty stricken and marginalized communities who experience lack of medical aid, access to hospitals and lack of means with which to access healthcare services.
While most of these diseases can be addressed through proper hygiene and sanitation, some of them require diagnosis and treatment and more often than not, earlier diagnosis and sensitization of the public are the best ways to ensure a healthy community.
Bayaan seeks to combat the spread of these diseases, stop new infections and offer humanitarian assistance to marginalized groups and areas as well as those affected by natural disasters and epidemics.
