Project Description

Region: South America

Country: Colombia

Location: Guadalajara de Buga

Total Budget: $87,632

Area of Focus: Disease prevention and treatment



General objective. Provide the Fundación San José de Buga (FSJB) with a MOBILE UNIT to offer basic and specialized health services to the rural communities of Buga and the Valle del Cauca region with access difficulties.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT. The Fundación San José de Buga provides medium and high complexity health services articulated with the network of providers in Valle del Cauca, Colombia. The health model promoted by the National Government aims to decentralize specialized services in the main cities and improve access for rural populations and those with various barriers to access. For this reason, the FSJB intends to acquire a MOBILE UNIT to provide health services related to general and specialized medical consultations, laboratory studies, non-invasive diagnostic imaging (electrocardiogram and echocardiogram), non-ionizing (ultrasounds) and non-invasive pneumological (spirometry). It seeks to benefit special populations, the elderly, indigenous, displaced, migrants and other vulnerable populations. The 1st stage will benefit the population of Buga and 5 municipalities in the area of influence. The 2nd stage will include another 24 municipalities in the department.

Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
