In this special online session, Jon McKenzie, director of Cornell’s StudioLab, is joined by Health Access Connect’s Kevin Gibbons, Bridget Nanyonjo, and Mercy Ahukana to share their story of using a critical design thinking process for innovative healthcare outreach in Uganda.
Health Access Connect (HAC) is a community-led system to bring government health workers and their medicines to remote villages using motorcycle taxis. Remote communities lead the setup of the outreach clinics and pool their wealth to cover the transportation costs so that they are not dependent on outside aid. HAC is currently working with the Ugandan Ministry of Health to pilot the model nationwide and teach other organizations how to implement it. Though the outreach clinics are self-sustaining, HAC relies on donations from individuals and foundations worldwide, and HAC needed an impactful way of getting its message out.
Join this Keynote webcast to discover how Cornell students and HAC co-designed interactive media to tell HAC’s story of innovation and its great potential in an effort to gain additional support from stakeholders and encourage local organizations to implement this innovative healthcare outreach program.
