Why ADFA SHOCK?

There are 3 delays that account for the greatest number of deaths of patients in health care as in...

  • Delay to seek care

    Many patients delay to respond and when they do its is late eg cancer is usually discovered at a late stage.

  • Delay to reach care facility

    Due to the poor infrastructure (roads, transport, no ambulance), the patient could fail to arrive to the hospital in time. There are many DOA cases (Dead on Arrival)

  • Delay to receive care

    30% of Emergency Room patients die at the Casualty Ward before they receive care. The golden hour is important for trauma patients to get much needed specialist care eg surgery within that window or else chances of survival plummet.

How does SHOCK work?

6 Shockwaves: the Building Blocks of a health care system

  • F Financing

    the burden of health financing is carried by the household.

  • L Leadership

    leadership and governance: health decision start at home with the parents especially the breadwinner. In this case, it's usually the father who makes health choices and pays for them.

  • I Information

    strategic information: information is a perishable good.

  • P Products

    health products.

  • S Services

    home-based care: service delivery at the last mile. with the rise in NCDs, the burden of care falls on the household.

  • H HRH

    human resources for health.
