More about Omega Centre
Omega Centre is a registered NPO, established in October 2009 and registered in 2010 (Reg. No. 007-479-NPO) with the Department of Social Development. Through our partnership with them and the Department of Health, we deliver an integrated Home and Community Based Care Service to the communities in which we operate. These comprehensive community health services include Chronic Medication deliveries (CDU) to the elderly, disabled, frail and sick members of our communities who suffer from dread diseases like HIV/AIDS, Cancer and TB. We also deliver other health-related services ranging from blood pressure monitoring, screening for various diseases like diabetes, HIV/AIDS, TB, etc., full washes for the elderly, disabled and sick, pre- and post-natal advice and referrals, deworming and weighing for creches, health workshops and community outreaches, GBV support groups, HTS, VMMC, HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention. Our focus is on Community Orientated Primary Care (COPC) as both a philosophy and methodology to assist the Department of Health to strengthen the more preventative and promotive aspects of its services within a community-based setting. When funding allows, we educate and equip unemployed women and youth with skills in order for them to participate in the economy, to become financially independent and able to sustain themselves. We also do food, clothing, blankets and toiletry donations to members of our impoverished communities when it is within our means to do so.
