About This Cause

We also provide on-site diagnosis and treatment for infectious diseases including diarrhea, typhoid, tuberculosis, and for chronic diseases such as asthma, diabetes, hypertension, heart failure. The major goals of HAEFA are to help the workers live self-sufficient, healthier, happier and more productive lives. HAEFA uses a mobile, on-site/workplace healthcare delivery system in urban and semi-urban settings. It uses on-site healthcare workers, sophisticated cell phone-based m-Health and electronic medical record (EMR) system "NIROG" to coordinate screening test results, diagnosis, and treatment regime with our physicians. All patient and employer records are kept strictly confidential and secure. Hundreds of workers are seen each month, with regular follow up appointments scheduled as necessary to improve their physical and mental health, and sustain their well-being. Our on-site preventative care includes: Immunization Ante- and post-natal care to ensure safe infant delivery, Health and general hygiene education Feminine health and hygiene education Our on-site curative care includes: Treatment of infectious disease such as typhoid, malaria, tuberculosis, dengue, hepatitis, diarrhea Treatment of chronic disease and non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, and high-risk pregnancy When HAEFA is welcomed on-site to a factory or worksite, all workers are screened and any necessary treatments are started. Because HAEFA is not a “one and done” program, each worker receives a health card and unique ID number linked to their confidential electronic medical record, enabling our healthcare professionals to continue ongoing follow up appointments, treatments and monitoring, using the latest EMR innovation NIROG. Because HAEFA is not a “one and done” program, each worker receives a health card and unique ID number linked to their confidential electronic medical record (EMR), stored on our NIROG data servers. Our physicians will be able to access these records using the latest technology and software from cellphones and computers, to help diagnosis, monitor and treat workers remotely. Employers will be able to monitor prognosis with treatment, and can also communicate with our healthcare professionals and health workers through email or phone/text. Follow-up visits by our health care providers will be performed once a month. Pregnant workers and workers with ailments will then be scheduled for appointments with healthcare professionals as needed. Pregnant women will be seen once a month until they are 24-26 weeks; after that, they will be seen every two weeks. Of course, workers will be seen more frequently whenever there are complications. Onsite healthcare professionals update EMR automatically through cellphone-based technology, and can also capture and send images and symptoms, enabling remote physicians to review files, monitor treatment results and change treatment regime in real-time, if needed.
