Problem statement
This project is based on Mount Pleasant Community Healthcare Clinic which is a new primary healthcare facility that offers accessible, affordable, integrated and quality care to all. The facility has started its journey in 2017 and with the services provided it is growing rapidly. Hence, with the growing population and demand, it is becoming difficult for them to maintain their services. Therefore, it has decided to open up a separate facility for managing the growing obesity problem in the community. Hence, this project has been undertaken to develop a new facility for management of the obesity problem within the community.
This project is focused on developing a new facility for Mount Pleasant Community Healthcare Clinic so that they can easily manage the growing population and demand.
