7. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr Yetunde Ayo-Oyalowo, Founder, Market Doctors:
"Market doctors is as a result of the experience I’ve had in the health care sector. One, I found that people could really not afford medical care, so you see people discharging themselves in hospitals against medical advice. But they got to this point because they didn’t have access to primary health care. And that’s what Market Doctors does, just gives the primary care to people so that they don’t need the secondary care. The other thing is that people cannot afford health care, there’s a hidden cost of healthcare: the cost of transportation, the cost of not going to work, and the long queues. So by bringing health care to people in their natural habitat, we’ve cut out all of those costs so they can add health care to their shopping bags."

"It’s lifesaving. For some people, this is the first time some people are going to have their blood pressures checked. For some people it is the first time they’re going to have face-to-face consultation with a medical doctor."

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr Blossom Maduafokwa, Public Health Physician, Lagos University Teaching Hospital:
"So this happens when medical professionals go into communities, basically bringing healthcare to where the people live and work. So when this happens there’s a reason why it’s happening. It’s happening because there’s a healthcare access gap and individuals are trying to fill this gap. So you have, whether it’s civil service organisations, sometimes individuals, whether you have non-governmental organisations, religious organisations taking up this role because they have identified that there’s a gap that somebody needs to fill. So that is why we have some of these community health outreaches or community healthcare services."

"Looking at our work across the country, across the six geopolitical zones really, I think the highest diagnosis we make is malaria on the field, and this is made by rapid diagnostic kits, people who test positive to it. But close to these ills, we’re having about 36 to 40% of the people we see having malaria, and they’re being treated with ACT (artemisinin-based combination therapy)."
