Summary
The Al-Hakeem Medical Clinics is a micro-network of medical clinics whose mission is to be a provider of high-quality patient-focused health care that is readily accessible, cost effective and meets the needs of the communities served. Our main services include diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of prevalent outpatient medical conditions.
Our Vision
To be the first choice in health care for our communities. To be a leader in providing quality, compassionate patient-centered care that seeks physical cures and comforts as well as peace of mind and peace of heart.
Our Goals
We seek to create a reliable supply of high quality, low cost, essential drugs and to make them available to the people who need them when and where they are needed. We also seek to treat childhood infectious diseases in the communities; reduce under age 5 mortality rates; improve community health through educational and prevention activities.
Our Model
We have combined established micro-enterprise principles with proven franchise business practices to create a micro-franchise business model called Al-Hakeem Medical Clinics.
We operate clinics strategically located to improve access to essential drugs treating diseases that cause 70-90% of illness and death within communities we serve while following MOH drug handling and distribution regulations calculated to ensure good practice.
A short-list of inexpensive generic drugs can effectively treat a large percentage of the children suffering and dying from infectious diseases. Too often, people do not have access to these drugs. We seek to improve access to these essential drugs using its micro-franchise business model.
Our major goals:
-
To create a reliable supply of high quality, low cost, essential drugs and to make them available to the people who need them when and where they are needed.
-
To treat childhood infectious diseases in the communities where children live, thus reducing congestion in the healthcare system so that scarce resources can be applied to others not so easily treated.
-
To reduce under age 5 mortality rates thus encouraging family planning and lower population growth rates;
-
To discourage the development of drug resistant microbes by the provision and appropriate use of adequate supplies of effective drugs; and
-
To improve community health through educational and prevention activities.
The micro-franchise business model engages the forces and participants in the marketplace to incent health care providers to follow good practices for the handling and distribution of essential drugs.
The franchise model has delivered a wide variety of high quality, low cost goods and services throughout the world—including medicine—and has proved to be an effective method of mass distribution across a wide diversity of economic and cultural conditions.
