Health Equity Initiatives (HEI) undertakes its community based health interventions with refugees and asylum seekers in Malaysia.
Refugees’ and asylum seekers’ lives are extremely challenging and their need for medical and mental health services is significant. HEI believes in facilitating an empowering approach to health with the communities the organization works with. A spirit of partnership informs HEI’s work, as community members are involved from project design through to implementation and monitoring.
