Riders for Health are clinicians delivering health services by motorbike to otherwise inaccessible rural communities. This sustainable collaborative approach between Riders for Health, Vodafone Foundation, Baylor International Paediatric AIDS Initiative and The Lesotho Ministry of Health has been incorporated as part of government policy in Lesotho.
Travelling with the clinicians into the field gave me a real understanding of how challenging access to some of these communities can be. With the aid of motorbikes, and even donkeys carrying medical supplies, these health care professionals were able to reach isolated populations in the stunning hills of this fascinating country.
