Comprehensive Support to Homeless in Belgrade - 500.000 rsd

ADRA is the global humanitarian arm of the Seventh-day Adventist Church—part of the 20-million strong Adventist community, with hundreds of thousands of churches globally and the world’s largest integrated healthcare and education network. We deliver relief and development assistance to individuals in more than 107 countries—regardless of their ethnicity, political affiliation, gender, or religious association. By partnering with local communities, organizations, and governments, we are able to deliver culturally relevant programs and build local capability for sustainable change.

This project focuses on covering health care and treatment costs that homeless without health care insurance face after using health care services in the private health care system.

ADRA´s medical team establishes contact to homeless people through its outreach work (f.e. through the so called “Drumo dom - bus”), does exam, finds key information about the medical condition of beneficiaries, does triage and prioritization (focusing on those who do not have personal documents and/or health care insurance and health care), and appoints an exam with a private health care provider (since the state health care provider cannot accept these individuals), and mediates in communication with them, and later on - follows up on beneficiaries. 

IWC is covering costs related to treatment/exams with medical doctors in the system, purchasing medicines from prescriptions given by medical staff in the health care system, and other costs like lab tests necessary for further treatment.
