WORLD MEDICAL FUND

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

for the year ended August 31, 2020

The Trustees present their report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended August 31, 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.

TRUSTEES OF THE CHARITY

The directors of the charitable company (‘the charity’) are its trustees for the purpose of charity law and throughout this report are collectively referred to as the trustees. The trustees serving during the year and since the year end were as follows :

C Burt J E Stevens (resigned December 9, 2020) A X Burt V W Sibale (resigned April 17, 2019) Dr F Kermani B Altenbourger (appointed September 16, 2020) M Altenbourger (appointed September 16, 2020) C Russell (appointed February 5, 2021)

OBJECTIVES OF THE CHARITY

The charity’s main objects are as set out in its Memorandum and Articles of Association :

“The charity’s objects are the relief of sickness and the preservation and protection of health by providing or assisting in the provision of medical equipment, facilities and training to those areas of the world where there is urgent need.”

Our vision is that every child has access to medical care, in line with this our mission is to make quality medical care accessible to children in the world’s poorest nations where one in five may die before their fifth birthday. The real tragedy is that the vast majority of these deaths are from causes such as malaria that are easily and cheaply treatable if only the diagnostic skills and medicine are in place.

Our protocol is to work closely with local communities and partners in our areas of operation to identify the greatest and most urgent needs.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The world we knew changed abruptly with the arrival of the SARS-Cov-2 virus and the pandemic that ensued. The immediate challenge we faced was to ensure the medical students spending their electives with us were not trapped in Malawi as the country was about to close its borders; we moved quickly and got them to the airport just in time.

The next step was to decide whether we would continue our work in Malawi. As a medical organisation working on the front lines, we were keenly aware of the significant risks to their lives that our clinical team would face.

Following liaison between the Malawi team, our trustees and medical advisors, the decision was taken that we should continue our work. It is most often the only access to healthcare for the tens of thousands of sick children we treat every year and it truly saves many young lives.

We always have contingency plans in place for a range of eventualities and carried a small stock of PPEs (Personal Protection Equipment) in readiness for an outbreak of Ebola, but they were of very limited numbers as Ebola outbreaks are generally very short term.

WORLD MEDICAL FUND

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

for the year ended August 31, 2020 continued

We urgently needed large supplies of quality N95 and surgical masks, face shields, aprons, gloves, overshoes, hand sanitiser and bulk disinfectant for our vehicles. They were virtually unobtainable in Malawi, so despite shortages and high costs because of the demand, we had to purchase and ship them from the U.K. The export of PPEs to non-EU countries was banned at that time, but with the help of the Office for International Trade in London, we were issued with a special export licence.

Once our Malawi team were properly equipped, the first vital step was to educate the community as there was a vacuum of knowledge on COVID and how to minimise the risks the pandemic posed. We successfully achieved this through local radio broadcasts and public meetings throughout the region.

We were then able to continue our main programme but certainly felt we were working alone. In fact the District Health Officer Dr Allinafe said to our team “Thank God you are still here, everyone else has gone!”.

The key facets of our work today are:-

1. The Children’s Mobile Clinic : we had to make major changes to our modus operandi to ensure the safety of our clinical team, the beneficiaries and their parents and guardians. We designed and implemented a process where every beneficiary would on arrival be triaged and assessed for COVID infection risk by one of our nurses in full PPEs. Those deemed at risk would be designated as “Red channel” and treated by our clinicians in full PPEs with shields, aprons, gloves and masks changed between each patient if the patient was coughing. Those designated as being of low risk would be designated “Blue channel” and seen by clinicians in full PPEs that were only changed when necessary.

The mobile clinics remain a simple and cost-effective solution to the needs of children denied access to medical care by distance, lack of transport and infrastructure. We pioneered the concept in 2003, employing robust 4 x 4 vehicles equipped with diagnostic tools and carrying a wide range of medicines and a highly skilled clinical team. They travel to villages on a planned four-weekly schedule, ensuring the community knows where they will be on any given day.

Parents and guardians travel for up to two days to bring their children for free treatment, as the mobile clinics provide their only realistic access to quality medical care. Our mobile clinics ease suffering and save young lives every day they go out. The need for our services increases every year and we expect to treat over 40,000 sick children annually. It is encouraging to note that our pioneering methodology has been copied by other organisations throughout sub-Saharan Africa.

2. The Centre of Excellence for children suffering from AIDS : children under 13 years of age were initially excluded from the Global Fund roll-out of ARVS (antiretroviral medicine) in Malawi. As an organisation whose focus is exclusively on children, it was impossible to stand by and watch these innocent children suffer the painful and undignified death that is the final outcome of AIDS. Our response in 2005 was to establish a programme, buying the necessary test kits and antiretroviral medicine, and in the first year began successfully treating 12 children. The project has since expanded, with hundreds now benefitting, and our dedicated centre is certified as a “Centre of Excellence”. During the pandemic all the child beneficiaries were given a supply of masks, hygiene kits and extra nutritional support.

3. HIV/AIDS Education : we continue to play a key role in this field as we have seen a rise in the HIV infection rate in adolescents presenting at our mobile clinics. This was of concern as whereas in the very young it will almost exclusively be through mother to child infection, in this age group it represents behavioural change. This rang warning bells and we felt it was essential to increase our commitment to HIV/AIDS education and to operate in the schools and villages, based on the successful methodology we had employed some years ago. We discovered there was a combination of a vacuum of knowledge and misconceptions on the subject and this intervention was long overdue. We are pleased to report successful outcomes from this initiative.

WORLD MEDICAL FUND

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

for the year ended August 31, 2020 continued

4. Cervical cancer screening and treatment : a pilot project that is run by specialist nurses. Malawi has the world’s highest mortality rate from this cancer and it is possible to detect the lesions that will develop into tumours at an very early stage using painless VIA (Visual Inspection with Acetic acid) and treat them straight away with a simple cryotherapy process. Whilst our prime focus is on children, this is a most worthwhile project and if funds are in place it will be continued.

5. Medical Student and Junior Doctor elective placements : our last students left in March 2020 and we cannot predict when it will be safe to restart this programme. It is very popular with our Malawi clinical team and we a pleased to be able to play a small role in the training of new doctors. It is a very popular placement and heavily oversubscribed with students coming from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. The students always raise funds for the organisation and sadly we are currently without this source of income.

We are grateful for the continued support and the key roles played during the pandemic by our medical advisers Dr Nathan De Barr, Dr Faiz Kermani and Dr Tim Wiggin who have all worked on our programme in Malawi.

We are deeply grateful to the charitable trusts and foundations and the general public who support our work.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

During the year, the charity raised £172,993 in donations, grants and sponsorship to carry out the programmes mentioned above. Of this, £60,204 comprised restricted funds from various trusts which had been utilised by August 31, 2020. All bar £16,927 of t he remaining funds received were expended in full in the year.

We provide our services free of charge because our beneficiaries are among the world’s poorest people and have no money to pay for medical care.

Our work saves lives and eases suffering but it can never be self-sustaining financially and we are always upfront and open about this fact. Like any healthcare programme, salaries have to be paid, fuel purchased and medicines bought.

We are most fortunate and grateful to have the services of the leading international law firm, Vinson & Elkins, who take care of our legal needs on a pro bono basis.

Reserve policy and risk management : the work of this organisation is by its very nature a long term commitment and there is a need to retain sufficient free reserves to meet whatever emergencies arise and ensure the vital continuance of our efforts on behalf of each child. Accordingly the trustees’ policy is to maintain a level of free reserves that enables them to guarantee this continuance.

As our work is focused on children, it was vital to have a coherent policy on child protection and in September 2001 we introduced our “Caring for Children Policy”; this was updated to comply with the “Street Children protocol”. This was further reinforced in 2018 by the policy documents from Vinson & Elkins covering protection for children, vulnerable persons, trustees and volunteers.

All members of staff are carefully vetted, all references are checked and their work is constantly monitored. To ensure we do not employ anyone with a history of offences against children we liaise closely with the Malawi policy authority who carry out checks on our behalf.

WORLD MEDICAL FUND

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

for the year ended August 31, 2020 continued

Investment policy : the charity sometimes needs to react very quickly to particular and unpredictable circumstances, and has a policy of keeping any surplus liquid funds in a combination of interest-bearing current or short term deposit bank accounts.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

In Malawi we are exploring a new and existing way of reducing child morbidity in a resource-poor environment that we plan to put into practice as a pilot project in the next 12 months. It will form part of our mission to ensure that children “at the bottom of the pile of humanity” never become just another sad, anonymous statistic in the child mortality tables.

Our strategic objective will be to explore ways to increase our income and recruit new supporters to help us achieve this end.

STRUCTURE, GOVERANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Constitution :

World Medical Fund is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantees given by its directors, who are also trustees of the charity. It functions as a charity but within the framework of its Memorandum and Articles of Association.
