Global Health Partnerships
Global Health Partnerships is an organization of medical professionals and other volunteers who provide humanitarian aid, medical care, and training of local health workers to improve the health and well-being of the poor.
In eastern KENYA we support a primary care clinic for an impoverished area where families have little access to medical care. A high priority is improving child and maternal health in a country with a high rate of death among children less than 5 years of age. Community health workers have been trained in a child survival program to prevent and treat malaria, diarrhea, pneumonia, and malnutrition, the leading killers of children.
In UGANDA we support the "Life Stitches Project", which provides financial empowerment for women living with HIV/AIDS, including an educational program for prevention of transmission of HIV from pregnant women to their children.
