Our Diaspora Mobile Clinic Project

The Mobile Medical Clinic (MMC) concept was introduced by Ghana Ex-Servicemen Association Hamburg e. V (GESAH) in 2020 in cooperation with Meine Diaspora e. V.  and YAPA Germany e.V to help provide healthcare to underserved African community and other minority communities in Hamburg. With sponsorship from BürgerStiftung Hamburg the concept was magnificently launched in September 2021 at Horner Rennbahn Hamburg under the program African Community Strategic Leadership meeting. The meeting developed a standardized framework for engaging with African communities and the potential stakeholders in Hamburg. The meeting also documented and outlined the services that were going to be provided at the Mobile Medical Clinic and explained the roles and responsibilities for each stakeholder. Some of the key strategic areas of the intervention included:

• Eliminating structural barriers eg uninsured.
• Community health education and health promotion
• linking community access to primary healthcare
• Healthy eating and active living. This improves diet and increase physical activities. It reduces rates of childhood obesity and adult obesity
