EHF was
founded in 2002 to engage the black and minority ethnic communities
in training, health improvement and disease prevention.
The formation was occasioned by issues around general health of
Black and Minority Ethnic Communities (BMEC) particularly African
and African-Caribbean communities which include the statistical
increase in admission of young and elderly men and women to acute
care setting (hospital) with non-communicable diseases as a result
of lack of information, health education and awareness.
This concern followed an ad-hoc needs assessment of BMEC
particularly African and African-Caribbean communities which was
carried out by EHF. The result revealed a low uptake of primary care
services amongst BMEC particularly African and African-Caribbean
communities.
