Introduction:
In response to the pressing healthcare needs of marginalized communities, a collective of web3 doctors has established “Doktor Guild,” a pioneering association. With a steadfast commitment to delivering essential medical aid, consultations, first aid training, and awareness campaigns, our mission transcends barriers of race and religion. Fueled by a blend of cutting-edge web3 innovations and hands-on outreach initiatives, “Doktor Guild” is dedicated to breaking down healthcare disparities and ensuring access to quality medical services for all.
Project Description:
“Doktor Guild” is a pioneering association led by web3-savvy doctors. Our mission is to offer free medical aid, consultations, first aid training, and awareness campaigns to underserved communities, transcending race and religion. Leveraging innovative tools and platforms, seamlessly integrating web3 advancements, and conducting physical outreaches to bridge gaps in medical support for vulnerable societies. We strive for universal healthcare access, ensuring no one is left behind.
Problem Statement:
The World Bank and World Health Organization report that half of the global population lacks access to essential health services due to soaring healthcare costs. This issue affects 800 million individuals who spend at least 10% of their household budgets on healthcare, pushing nearly 100 million people into extreme poverty, living on $1.90 or less per day.
This is a devastating issue that need urgent and quick attention in order the solve the imminent and unforeseen problems in the nearest future.
Key Issues We Addressed:
Disasters
Natural disasters strike swiftly, leaving devastation in their wake—thousands injured, homes destroyed, and lives disrupted. The aftermath often brings mental health challenges like PTSD and depression. Doktor Guild, with clinical expertise, excels in emergency response, leveraging skills and experience to aid those affected.
Refugees, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and Destitute
The global displacement crisis has doubled in the past decade, surpassing even the aftermath of World War II. Presently, the conflict in Israel and Gaza intensifies, causing widespread suffering, displacements, and tragic losses. Urgent attention is required to address these issues promptly. Wars, persecution, civil unrest, political instability, natural disasters, destitution, and repression contribute to conflicts, all of which Doktors Guild aims to mitigate through collaborative humanitarian efforts. Together with NGOs worldwide, we strive to restore normalcy for those affected by conflicts and disasters.
Social violence and exclusion
Healthcare disparities persist, with marginalised groups facing barriers to access due to societal prejudices and neglect. Undocumented migrants, street children, sex workers, prisoners, drug addicts, and the mentally ill are often excluded, as are entire communities in neglected areas or impacted by violence. Our community of doctors will deliver comprehensive medical, psychological, and social support, shedding light on the challenges these individuals and communities encounter in accessing essential healthcare.
Crisis/Conflicts
Armed conflicts force people into hardship, poverty, and violence. Many endure sieges, indiscriminate attacks, and the loss of basic needs. War results in death, injuries, PTSD, infrastructure destruction, and displacement. Over a third of our projects aid those affected in conflict zones like Central African Republic, Iraq, Nigeria, South Sudan, Syria, Yemen, Israel, Gaza, and more. Our impartial medical and humanitarian support prioritizes need over affiliations, ensuring care reaches all, regardless of religious beliefs, race, or education.
