We consider the outreach programme to be an essential and vitally important part of the project because of the extremely difficult travel conditions in the region. In order to get the outreach work operational we will initially work from a basic resource level of doctors, nurses, paramedics and/or health workers to enable us to take healthcare and health education to a remote village on a regular basis. The outreach programme will grow to provide each village with regular general medical health care and specialist care as and where appropriate.

As the project matures we will add more health workers on motorcycles who will increase the visit regularity and provide immediate medical help. There is also a plan to identify and train women in each village who can be available 24 hours a day. They will have some drugs, which they can dispense without a doctor's prescription, so that they can tide the patient over until the doctor’s visit. This will in time, ensure that every village will have some form of health care at anytime of the day or night, every day of the year.
