The low levels of income, high patient-doctor ratio, poor diets, ignorance, war and cultural beliefs amongst others create very poor health conditions in rural communities of the North West, South West and West regions of Cameroon. To overcome this impediment, RUYAC’s Health Programs involve the following:
- Offer basic health education training to youths in rural communities. This is carried out either with the door-to-door approach or a group approach. This is to help prevent and better manage sicknesses such as malnutrition, cholera, drug abuse, malaria, HIV/AIDS, STDs, unwanted pregnancies, mental health and other diseases.
- Assist young girls who are victims of rape, female genital mutilation, incest, early marriages and social discrimination which affects the health of young girls in rural communities.
- Supports in equipping some health facilities in rural communities as an attempt to increase the efficiency of these poorly equipped health facilities in managing some diseases affecting youths in rural communities.
