SolidarMed This mobile practice is the result of a joint project between SolidarMed and the Canadian organization Bracelet of Hope. Launched in March 2020, the mobile practice is a unique initiative in Lesotho, the very mountainous country in southern Africa affectionately known as the "Kingdom in the Sky." More than 40 percent of the population lives in remote and hard-to-reach villages, and 57 percent live below the poverty line. The country also has the second highest HIV prevalence rate in the world. In light of these challenges, SolidarMed aims to bring healthcare to the country's most remote villages.
