Doctors' Alliance For Rural Community Health (Doctors' ARCH)
“For us, we are like forgotten people!” said a resident of Naput settlement in Moroto. “You have seen with your own eyes-the distance, the emptiness. We walk that distance for days, trying to reach health facilities. Now, take this message for us… tell those in Kampala what you have seen!” We witnessed a child die of malaria and anemia after a lonely fight in isolation. We listened to stories-of babies dying too soon, of women bleeding to death in villages too far from care. We touched the pain with our hands and carried it in our hearts. Doctors’ Alliance for Rural Community Health (Doctors’ ARCH) was born of this reality. Once a voluntary outreach by Karamojong doctors for Karamoja’s poor, it is now an emblem and an identity-a pledge that no mother’s cry and no child’s breath in remote Africa will fade unheard or unseen. We work at the intersection of community health, innovation, and advocacy By foundation, our work embodies the values of inclusion, equity, and resilience. By design, our approaches are context-specific, anchored in local leadership, driven by data, enhanced by technology and focused on practical solutions that save lives where survival is too often left to chance. Follow our journey, partner with us to scale impact, and donate to empower a mother or child with the gift of health. Together, we can eliminate preventable deaths-one community at a time.
