Direct Relief

Even without treating a single Ebola patient, the outbreak changed everything at Jericho Road's Wellness Clinic in Goma, DRC. Fear and distrust caused patient visits to drop by nearly 20% as people avoided seeking care for illnesses like malaria, respiratory infections, and chronic diseases. Clinic leaders say trust is just as essential to an Ebola response as medicine, testing, and protective equipment. Local doctors and nurses play a critical role in helping communities feel safe enough to seek care before it's too late. Direct Relief continues to support frontline health providers with requested medical aid, including personal protective equipment, diagnostics, antibiotics, oral rehydration salts, and chronic disease medications to help clinics continue caring for patients throughout the outbreak.

Free and charitable clinics are trusted spaces where patients can receive care, support, and connection. Through Community Routes, a partnership between NAFC, Direct Relief, and Teva Pharmaceuticals, 11 free and charitable clinics across Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas have expanded behavioral health services, reduced wait times, and helped more patients access mental health support in their communities. From counseling and virtual care to grief support workshops and nutrition-informed care, participating clinics are meeting patients where they are and creating spaces where people feel safe asking for help.
