Success by the Numbers

Accordia's flagship program, the Infectious Diseases Institute in Kampala, Uganda, is impacting the standards of care and quality of life across Africa. Here are a few of their impressive statistics:

Impact

  • Over 6,800 healthcare providers trained in HIV, laboratory, malaria, clinical pharmacology, research, and systems strengthening from 27 African countries
  • Care and treatment to over 37,000 patients with outreach to 376,000 individuals
  • 133 research publications, 148 abstracts, and 47 total research projects, all aimed at improving regional healthcare policy and practice and developing new generation of independent African researchers
  • Award-winning laboratory, 1 of 7 College of American Pathologists accredited research facilities in Africa, enables the Institute to conduct the majority of its research projects on site

Transferring Excellence

  • Building capacity for family based care at 10 Kampala City Council government clinics
  • Strengthening health systems in 6 rural districts with catchment area of 3 million, including human resources for health, training, lab services, pharmacy, IT systems, clinical care, and physical infrastructure
  • Innovative research on a novel design of integrated management of infectious diseases training for non-physician clinicians in 36 rural, mid-sized health facilities

Sustainability

  • Pfizer funded 100% of initial operations. Pfizer funding now comprises less than 20% of the Institute’s annual operating budget but remains a critical source of core support
  • Pfizer’s investment has leveraged significant investment: $18 million generated for the year ended June 2010 (7:1 leverage) through partnerships with the Government of Uganda, Gates Foundation, Global Fund, PEPFAR, ExxonMobil, Gilead, BD, CDC, Wellcome Trust and others

Governance and Leadership

  • International caliber management team,  with 7 of 10 leadership positions held by African nationals
  • 12 local and international Board of Director members who maintain international standards of governance and financial accountability
  • 3 internal audits and 1 external audit conducted by internationally-recognized firms each year

All numbers accurate as of December 2010.
