What People are Saying
“… Academia and the private sector [partnered] to help create one of the leading regional HIV/AIDS training, research and infectious diseases clinics on the continent, the Infectious Diseases Institute… Today, it serves as a model of health systems strengthening and quality service delivery directed under complete local ownership and expertise.”
Ambassador Eric Goosby, Statement before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, June 2009
“The capacity building that Accordia is involved in could not be more appropriately focused… We’re going to have to save more lives, with less money. That means we’re going to have to become far more efficient and far more effective in the ways that we do it – so everything that you’re doing here.”
Senator John Kerry (MA), Remarks at Accordia’s Celebration of Partnership, September 14, 2010
“I just want to thank all of you and congratulate all of you for the work that you are doing, and when you think about where you were a decade ago and where you are today, it shows the incredible work that has been done by a commitment of private contributors, governments, and local people all working together, all for the greater good.”
Senator John Barrasso (WY), Remarks at Accordia’s Celebration of Partnership, September 14, 2010
“Accordia Global Health [Foundation], your work is not in vain. Those of us who have seen, as you have seen, what it was, what it has been, the lives lost, the lack of communication and information, I can assure that this is not work in vain… Thank you very much for your leadership.”
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (TX-17), Remarks at Accordia’s Celebration of Partnership, September 14, 2010
“Accordia Global Health Foundation is thinking differently about building long-term health capacity in Africa and they are doing the right thing. I am impressed with the tremendous results that they have achieved and look forward to witnessing the impact of their work for generations to come.”
Julio Frenk, Dean, Harvard School of Public Health, December 7, 2010
“African-owned and African-led, the IDI is now a preeminent center for infectious disease research, training, and treatment…The IDI model has proven extraordinarily productive, with far-reaching applications for similar disease fighting efforts elsewhere in Africa.”
