What is Allied Health Services?
Global Humanitarian Aid Foundation (GHAF) explains what is allied health services and how you can get support. We help provide a wide range of allied health services for children, adults, and individuals with disabilities and disorders who do not have the finances or opportunities to get the therapeutic care and support they need. We also help provide these allied healthcare services to those experiencing disadvantage, poverty, distress, abuse, or discrimination as well as victims of natural disasters. Through GHAF, these disadvantaged individuals can gain complete access to the best allied healthcare services that they would otherwise be unable to get on their own because of their unique circumstances.
Our Proven Approach
Using an enablement approach, our goal is to help improve the physical, mental, emotional, and psychological health and well-being of people with a disability and disadvantaged individuals. At the same time, we also want to help enhance their ability to engage in life activities at home, school, in the workplace, and/or community. With us here at GHAF, everyone can utilise the allied health services we provide to not just become healthier in body, mind, and spirit but also live a fuller, happier, and more meaningful life. Our team is genuinely passionate about helping people and have dedicated their lives to delivering the best care and support for people of all ages from all walks of life.
