DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION
OBF Recruit's Mission is to help reduce the obstetric fistula burden in Ghana and beyond through active case identification.
OBF Recruit's model operates on the four key trajectories of creating awareness, recruitment through active case search using trained volunteers, transportation of eligible clients to care centers and evaluation of model impact.
The model is critical as eligible fistula patients are recruited in the Central Region of Ghana at the household level through trained volunteers in a one-to-one interactive section.
OBF Recruit was founded by Dr. Justice Osei, Solomon Kwadwo Achinah, Esinam Agbemafle and Rose Mantey in 2019 to who wanted to bridge the gap between obstetric fistula patients and the treatment centers.
