abstract: 'The utilization of existing social networks is increasingly being
recognized as a powerful strategy for delivering healthcare services to
underserved populations in low- and middle-income countries. In
Guatemala, multiple barriers prevent access to healthcare services for
rural and indigenous populations, and strategies for delivering
healthcare in more efficient ways are needed. The case study we describe
here is a unique collaboration between a microfinance institution
(Friendship Bridge) and a primary care organization (Wuqu'' Kawoq
vertical bar Maya Health Alliance) to scale up healthcare through an
existing lending-borrowing social network. The program provides primary
care services to female clients of Friendship Bridge in rural areas of
Guatemala, with nurses working as frontline primary care providers,
providing door-to-door healthcare services. Over the first 22 months of
the project, we have reached over 3500 of Friendship Bridge''s clients,
with overall high acceptance of services. All clinical documentation and
program monitoring and evaluation are done through audit trails within
an electronical medical record system, which improves efficiency and
lowers the associated time and resources costs. We utilize quality
improvement methodologies to aid in decision making and programmatic
adjustments scale up. These strategies have allowed us to expand
services rapidly under challenging geographic and logistical
constraints, while concurrently iteratively improving staff training and
supervision, clinical care, and client engagement processes.'
