The doctors of AHU in the Hungarian migration camps

The African Hungarian Union in cooperation with the Asian Hungarian Union has decided to launch an initiative to support the health care services of the Hungarian immigration camps by delegating the volunteer AHU doctors trained during medical mission in Africa.

The program started in August 2015 in the immigration camps in Bicske, Nagyfa and Debrecen.

Medical missions

The African Hungarian Union (AHU) has sent twelve successful humanitarian missions to Africa since 2009 in which 30 Hungarian doctors and medical professionals have participated and helped over 30.000 patients. The doctors volunteered without any charges or fees, all the other costs were covered by the AHU donations, donations received from doctors and different sponsors.
AHU sends doctors to Africa regularly, the mission usually takes four weeks. Our association awaits doctors, physicians and healthcare workers who are eager to help those in need.
If our medical missions raised your interest and would like to know more about them, please contact Zsuzsa Orzoi.

AHU Health Centers Project

Objectives
The African Hungarian Union alongside with the Hungarian Trade and Cultural Center has decided to establish health centers throughout the African continent.
The objective of the AHU Health Centers Project is to maintain long term and sustainable health care service infrastructure in those African countries where accessibility proves to be a major issue for the population.
The first milestone: AHU Health Center in Kapeke, Uganda
The construction of the first health center of the project started in Uganda in July 2015.
The African Hungarian Union has already organized three medical missions to improve the health status of the people of Uganda. The experience and political connections gained throughout these initiatives have led the organization to establish its first permanent health center in Kapeke village, which lies 85 km away from the capital.
In this region one million people have access to one doctor. Well trained health professionals are extremely rare, the infrastructure of the health system is scarce, and the medical equipment needed for the service are not available. The majority of the population has to pay for the health services and for the medications as well. The most endangered sub-population consists of children and young mothers.

Current status of the project
The construction of the health center in Kapeke started by laying its ground stone on July 16th, 2015.

Resources
The project is funded by the donations received by the African Hungarian Union. For more details on your options to donate, please contact us on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
