GRASSROOTS BASIC HEALTHCARE
…our core specialisation
A wise man once said; “the diabetes, hypertension, stroke, heart attack, cancer and kidney failure of today, was nothing more than mere seed, yesterday! Here at PDI, this statement became the core on which our services revolve.
In Africa, “primary healthcare” is non-existent as soon as you start to move away from the capital cities. Our research across the continent reveals an unhealthy pattern whereby pharmacies and local drugs stores have been adopted as grassroots (primary) healthcare point by close to 70% of the population in the continent.
In rural Africa, a patient may never get to see sit before a doctor more than five times in his or her life-time. And that’s usually as a result of some intervention outreach by an NGO. For the rest of their lives, they are left at the mercy of pharmacy attendants as the only alternative to a GP. Growing rate of organ damages such as steep rise in kidney failure in Africa is a direct result. At PDI, we decided to do something about the situation.
We’re here to care for you and your entire family. Regular visits to the doctor will depend on your age and general health!

THE PDI ALTERNATIVE BASIC PRIMARY HEALTHCARE MODEL.
We came up with an alternative basic healthcare model. We came up with a grassroots basic healthcare model customised to suit the peculiarities of the Africa terrain.
In the past two decades, PDI worked and perfected a grassroots basic healthcare delivery model that is designed to bridge this growing GAP between the urban and the hard-to-reach areas, between the haves and the have-nots in, the continent of Africa.
We came up with what has become known as the “PDI 25-point Early Detection System” The idea is to try to possibly neutralise the potential diabetes, hypertension, stroke, heart attack, cancer and kidney failure etc before they could take hold. We knew this could be done at a fraction of the cost

THE PDI GRASSROOTS BASIC HEALTHCARE SERVICES DELIVERY MODEL.
The PDI 24/7 Doctor-To-Patient Services Programme
Here’s what we’ve done. Through the above initiative we decided to take full basic healthcare delivery to the people in their community.
We go into collaboration with every available pharmacy, drugs stores, laboratory centres etc and anchor our 24/7 doctor-to-patient call point there. As the people walk in for their usual self-medication, the pharmacy attendants would inform them of a free doctor’s consultation over the phone, and in so doing arrive at proper and accurate prescription, etc...
