“I grew up in a community where accessibility to health care services was largely dependent on socio-economic status. Determined to contribute to improve this, I became a medical doctor. In my short period of clinical practice in 4 resource limited settings serving numerous (over 70) rural communities, the problem that stands out is that of primary health care access. In 2017, I received a bleeding pregnant woman at near-death in Manoka District hospital. She had bled for more than 24hours but could not get to the hospital on time because there were no available canoes to cover such long distance on water during late hours. She managed to survive! But there are many out there who loss their lives due to inaccessibility to essential health care services. I have seen and experienced things like this for time immemorial but this was the height of it. Imagining the trauma that this lady and her family went through and thinking of those who finally lost their wife, sister, mother, friend with an unborn child just because of inaccessibility to health care services, I decided to contribute my quota by helping as many as my strength and finances could support to stay alive. To do this, I visited communities during off-duty periods to offer free essential care services such as obstetric ultrasound, medical consultation especially for under-5s and pregnant women, treatment of basic ailments, basic antenatal care and above all counselling. I used my social media handles to promote and advocate for practice in rural communities by young health care providers.
