Talk vs. Action: The Cost Barrier to Preventative Care in Africa 🩺 Last week, we shared that cost emerged prominently as a reason many Africans forgo preventative care during our focus group discussions with the African Diaspora. To gain deeper insight, we recently visited the streets of Zimbabwe to gather first-hand perspectives on preventative healthcare. One thing struck us: Many people understand the value of regular preventative care, just like our interviewee here. But the reality? Cost often becomes a roadblock. At Yanai Health, we believe preventative care shouldn't be a luxury. That's why we're working on innovative solutions to bridge the gap and make preventative care a reality for all Africans! #PreventativeCare #Africa #HealthcareForAll #NCDs

💰 The Cost of Health: Why Are Africans Skipping Preventative Care? Many of us know the importance of PREVENTATIVE healthcare. But what if a trip to the doctor meant choosing between food on the table or a roof over your head? This is the reality for many Africans who shared their experiences with Yanai Health in our recent focus group discussions. The high cost of healthcare often forces people to prioritize basic needs, leaving preventative care as an afterthought. This cycle can have devastating consequences, leading to undetected chronic diseases and ultimately higher medical expenses down the line. ❓ The Question Remains: Why are Healthcare Costs So High in Africa? Are some healthcare providers prioritizing profits over people's health? Is the system failing to address the needs of the most vulnerable? We want to hear from YOU! ◻ What are your thoughts on the current state of healthcare affordability in Africa? ◻ How can we, as stakeholders, work together to make preventative care a realistic option for everyone? Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below. Together, let's spark a conversation about making preventative healthcare accessible and affordable for all Africans! Stay tuned for more insights from our focus group discussions! We'll be exploring other key themes that emerged. #PreventativeCare #Africa #HealthcareForAll #Diabetes

Kidney Health in the Elderly 🌐👴👵 As we age, our bodies change, and unfortunately, so do our kidneys. Kidney function naturally declines with age, often silently and without symptoms until complications arise. This silent threat is especially concerning for the elderly and those living with chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes, which significantly increase the risk of kidney disease. At Yanai Health, we refuse to let kidney health be a gamble. We're committed to proactive care, especially for vulnerable populations in Zimbabwe. Here's how we're fighting back against the silent threat: Annual kidney function tests for the elderly and those living with chronic diseases. Early detection and proactive care make all the difference. Let's prioritize kidney health together. 💙👨⚕️👩⚕️ #KidneyHealth #ElderlyCare #YanaiHealth
