Alliance For Community Awareness (AFCA) is a non-profit, apolitical and independent association, operating in accordance with the laws and regulations of Cameroon and registered in Fako Division, South-West Region. We were founded and are led by medical professionals with one purpose: to put qualified healthcare within reach of every Cameroonian, regardless of income, distance or circumstance.
Our constitution commits us to organising periodic medical outreach programmes and health campaigns aimed at improving access to healthcare services, particularly for underserved, indigent and vulnerable populations. Our volunteer teams arrive with clinicians, diagnostic equipment and medication, set up in a school, town hall, place of worship or local health centre, and treat everyone who comes through the door at no cost whatsoever. Under our constitution, the aims and objectives of the Association are to:
- Promote community health awareness through education, sensitisation and outreach initiatives
