Global Strategies works hand-in-hand with local community partners across the globe. By combining our expertise with their knowledge of the local landscape and the trust they have developed over decades, we are able to create lasting change.
Our work with Dr. Chris Isichei and his team at Faith Alive aims to bring HIV and maternal-child healthcare to the community of Jos, Nigeria. Faith Alive cares for 10,000 patients every month, providing life-saving, comprehensive and holistic care.
Our partnership with HEAL Africa has spanned more than a decade and has led to the pioneering of maternal-child healthcare in the North Kivu Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Together we established the Children's AIDS Program, the only program dedicated to children living with HIV in the eastern Congo. We also founded a neonatal training center and pioneered the introduction of the first neonatal respiratory care program with our partner Birthlink.
Today our programs at HEAL Africa include HIV/AIDS prevention and care, neonatal care and malnutrition.
The Infectious Disease Research Collaboration (IDRC) is a nonprofit organization conducting research in Uganda. It was established in 2008 by Ugandan health scientists from Makerere University College of Health Science, UCSF, and the Ugandan Ministry of Health. Global Strategies and IDRC have collaborated on a study using midwife trainers and NoviGuide, our clinical support software, to rollout neonatal oxygen saturation monitoring in eastern Uganda.
Led by Sister Barbara Brillant, the Mother Patern College of Health Sciences is educating the next generation of Liberian nurses, laboratory technicians and social workers. Global Strategies provides scholarships every year for students to attend the college.
The Nakakeeto Foundation is led by Dr. Margaret K. Nakakeeto, a distinguished researcher and academic known for her significant contributions to maternal and newborn health, particularly in the context of Uganda. With a robust affiliation history that includes key positions at the Uganda Ministry of Health and the Uganda Virus Research Institute, Dr. Nakakeeto has played a pivotal role in advancing health initiatives aimed at improving outcomes for vulnerable populations.
The Foundation Dr. Nakakeeto created has a special program, led by Henry Waliggo, focused on bringing NoviGuide to neonatal wards throughout the country. Foundation staff train nurses and monitor the use and benefits of NoviGuide throughout Uganda.
Global Strategies began partnering with Panzi Hospital in 2009 to deliver post-rape healthcare to rape survivors.
The project expanded in 2012 by providing access to 4,000 post-rape health kits, called the Prévention Pack, to survivors in the South Kivu province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The expanded project includes intensive training with experts in the field of sexual violence and an improved regimen of prescribed medications.
Following that successful collaboration, we partnered together with Birthlink to improve neonatal care and introduce neonatal respiratory therapies at Panzi Hospital. This effort helps Panzi Hospital's team care for over 3000 babies annually.
The Preeclampsia Foundation is a community of patients and experts, with an array of resources and support to help women have the best possible pregnancy. Global Strategies and the Preeclampsia Foundation have created the Aspirin Educator using NoviGuide, our clinical support software, to help women better understand their own risk levels for preeclampsia, as a ‘conversation starter’ to share with their doctors.
