Our approach

One framework,ten interventions

Doctors For You built a comprehensive COVID-19 relief, emergency and essential health services response that covered every stage of the pandemic.

We set up makeshift hospitals and care centres, staffed vaccination centres, protected front-line health workers, installed oxygen plants and kept essential care for cancer and TB patients running when health systems were stretched.
