An Irish non-profit group called i4Life focuses on primary healthcare, nutrition, and immunisations.
Dr. Maura Moran is part of a team of volunteer medical experts that joined forces in 2009 to help established organisations in times of need and to plan vaccination campaigns and child health clinics for children under five in the world's poorest nations.
Their current work is concentrated in Zambia, where they offer primary healthcare services and nutrition clinics to the 80,000 or so residents of Linda Compound, an urban community located on the outskirts of Lusaka.
We are a collection of medical experts who have a common interest in human rights. The Neri Clinic asked us to visit Zambia in 2011.
“These people are a combination of urban migrants, internally displaced people, some refugees, so it's a very marginalised community, very vulnerable community,” Maura Moran said.
According to Dr. Moran, i4Life helps medical students and young professionals who learn a lot from their Zambian colleagues, as well as foreign health experts travelling from Europe and Ireland.
“This model of mutual transfer of knowledge is a model in equality and diversity and in cultural sensitivity or humility," she stated.
Sunday, December 3rd is the date of the i4Life concert. Numerous artists, including Bel Canto, Aidan Tierney, The Galway Baytones, Hession School of Dance, Geraldine Farrell, Headford Music Works, Orlaith Keane, and Everyone's Voice Movement Group, will play at it.
