HistoryThe organisation started on 21.02.1998 when two patients of TB who were residing in Madibong Village were discharged from Jane Furse Hospital. These patients had to go to Mamakoko Cafe everyday for their daily treatments. We were motivated by the fact that some of these patients had to travel long distances, so we found it necessary to train volunteers for DOTS and this was the formation of Madibong DOTS, to make it possible for patients to take their treatments at home. In 2003 Madibong DOTS was then changes to Madibong Community Home Based Care because after this juncture we were no longer working with DOTS only but with other diseases and socio-economic problems in the community. Board of DirectorsThe organisation is overseen by a Board of Directors, composed of seven members elected biannually by the community in an Annual General Meeting. Management TeamThe management team consists of the Field StaffThe project has field staff of 21 (twenty one) Volunteer Community Home Based Workers servicing the four villages namely Mashishing, Madibong, Dichoeung and Moretsele spread along four Wards of Makhuduthamaga Municipality in Jane Furse. |
