Pilot Program: Imagining Healthy Futures

A YOUTH INITIATIVE FOR HEALTH LITERACY

Our most recent endeavour was the successful run of
our pilot program – Imagining Healthy Futures.

We aimed to provide passionate citizens, young health leaders, and health professionals with the opportunity to build their professional future and make real impact by empowering local communities in need. They gained valuable life experience together by advocating, educating, and co-creating solutions for community health!

Understanding the health system’s context: Why create a youth initiative for health?

Disadvantaged individuals and communities

  • Difficulty accessing expert consultation and treatment due to cost, time, and distance
  • Poor practice of preventive health care measures due to lack of guidance
  • One health emergency away from being financially ruined

Understaffed and under equipped community health workers

  • Undersupported community health workers that often have difficulty building trust in their assigned communities.

Overburdened hospitals and healthcare centers

  • Lack of beds and healthcare workers in hospitals due to the influx of of patients suffering from preventable diseases.

With these steps we have implemented the Imagining Healthy Futures program with promising young individuals, equipping them with the skills, technical expertise, and network to empower their communities with reliable health information.
