Dunia Health strives to create sustainable solutions that improve access to health care and improve the health of the population across the Middle East and North Africa.
Our Vision
Simplify Access to Care
To develop simple solutions for global health issues across the MENA region. Our ideal solutions are ones that are low-cost, complementary and supportive of the care provided by local doctors and nurses, and tools that cater towards the specific needs of a community with the ability to evolve as the needs and realities on the ground change.
Our Method
Data Driven Programs.
We pride ourselves in developing solutions that have been proven to be successful through pilot studies and trials. We believe the most effective solutions are ones that are carefully researched and tailored to fit the needs and circumstances of every community we serve.
Our Achievements
Our SMS vaccine alerts have reduced the average number of days that patient is late for a vaccine appointment from over 2 weeks to 1.5 days. We have successfully conducted a needs assessment in the West Bank to examine whether mHealth approaches that leverage mobile phones for remote mental health treatment may be viable alternatives.
Our Dedicated Volunteers
We have been fortunate enough to have a steady flow of volunteers who donate their skills, time, and energy to helping make our projects successful.
