📋 Tender Overview
Scope :
In Madagascar, the number of deaths caused by noncommunicable diseases (NCDs)—in addition to those caused by infectious diseases—has been increasing, with stroke becoming the leading cause of death in recent years. In particular, university hospitals (in 22 locations) and provincial hospitals (in 16 locations), which have function of core medical services in rural areas, face many challenges in terms of both structure and accessibility. Lacking the appropriate medical equipment and possessing aging apparatus, these regional referral hospitals are unable to adequately conduct thorough examinations. In order to visit hospitals in the urban areas, patients living in the countryside must spend many hours traveling, which also incurs a heavy financial burden. As a result of this burden, both in terms of money and time, it is hard for many patients in rural areas to receive adequate examinations and treatment. The need to improve access to medical care, including strengthening the system for early detection and treatment of various diseases, especially NCDs, is thus an urgent issue.
