OORO QSCADR Ooredoo and the Algerian Red Crescent have officially launched a mobile clinic for the people of Tamanrasset Province in southern Algeria, in the Ahaggar Mountains.
The launch was held in the presence of officials from Tamanrasset, the Algerian Red Crescent and senior Ooredoo executives.
Managed by The Algerian Red Crescent, the Mobile Health Clinic will provide healthcare services to people across the province, with a particular focus on people in remote areas, to save them from travelling hours to reach hospitals in town centres. It will also offer healthcare education across the province for children and young people, providing information on primary health issues.
Since its launch in partnership with the Leo Messi Foundation in 2013, Ooredoo's Mobile Health Clinic initiative has helped communities in Indonesia, Myanmar, Algeria, and Tunisia.
In Algeria, Ooredoo launched its first mobile health clinics in July 2015.
Ooredoo has worked with the Algerian Red Crescent since 2008. The two organisations signed a framework agreement in 2014 to support social and humanitarian initiatives across Algeria, with Ooredoo as an official partner of the Algerian Red Crescent.
