Well-managed Transport For Improved Health Care Delivery
About our organisation
R4H is a local NGO working to improve healthcare delivery in Africa. For over 7 years, we have been into healthcare logistics. Specifically, we have been transporting clinical Samples thereby increasing access to diagnostic services in Malawi. R4H is currently working in 790 health facilities from all the 28 mainland districts in Malawi. Through the on-going Sample Transportation program, clients (patients) no longer have to travel long distances to get tested instead their Samples are collected at the nearest health facility and transported to a testing Laboratory. Similarly, clients are able to collect Results at the very same nearest health facility.

Sample Transport Program
With funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other in-kind donations from Ministry of Health (MoH), R4H is operating the ST program in 28 districts of Malawi reaching a total of 790 health facilities comprising of Christian Health Association of Malawi (CHAM), Health Centers, Community Hospitals, District Hospitals and Central Hospitals.
The goal of the Sample Transport (ST) program is to increase access to diagnostic services in the targeted 28 districts of Malawi. The ST program ensures that samples collected from patients at health centers or hospitals are transported on a regularly-scheduled basis and in a professional, consistent, safe, and quality-controlled manner to designated laboratories. After testing, the results are promptly returned to the originating site, allowing for accelerated follow-up with individual patients. The service enables and supports improved diagnosis and monitoring, and in some cases initiation of treatment for patients. In Malawi, R4H has been implementing the Sample Transport program since 2013.
