What We Do
Focusing on Permanent Solutions
Accordia Global Health Foundation is a non-profit organization backed by a distinguished alliance of experts from leading academic institutions around the world. We are investing in strengthening African health systems, not only to address today’s need to fight HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases, but also to prepare a new generation of African healthcare leaders for tomorrow’s challenges. We take a networked approach, tapping the most appropriate resources from among our academic partners and deploying them through coordinated and innovative programs to our partners in Africa.
Our programs enhance local healthcare capacity to promote and deliver consistent quality of care, and strengthen academic medical institutions to train healthcare professionals and nurture young African researchers. We are dedicated to transferring knowledge and skills, and to building of infrastructure, that will lead to an Africa that can move forward independently toward a healthier future.
Creating Sustainable Centers of Excellence
In 2004, Accordia Global Health Foundation and its partners established the Infectious Diseases Institute in Kampala, Uganda, which serves as our model for a sustainable, locally- owned, regional Center of Excellence transforming the quality of care across the continent. Accordia continues to partner with the Infectious Diseases Institute, while working to build other Sustainable Centers of Excellence in health in Africa.
Driving Health Innovation
Along with a diverse set of international partners, Accordia Global Health Foundation is developing innovative and cost-effective models for health systems strengthening in the African context.
