Accordia Global Health Foundation Condemns Uganda's Draft Anti-Homosexuality Bill
December 23, 2009, Washington, DC: For over two decades, Uganda has led sub-Saharan African nations in the fight against HIV/AIDS and has been recognized by the international community as a model of success and progress. This success has been attributed to many factors, not the least of which has been strong political leadership and commitment. However, draft legislation introduced in October in Uganda's parliament will reduce Uganda's ability to successfully fight HIV/AIDS and may jeopardize the gains that have been made. The legislation should be withdrawn immediately.

Accordia Observes World AIDS Day
December 1, 2009, Washington, DC: On World AIDS Day, Accordia Global Health Foundation would like to acknowledge the incredible commitment and dedication of the thousands of healthcare workers, community advocates, and patient volunteers that are on the front lines – fighting a pandemic that has resulted in more than 25 million deaths and infected 60 million people worldwide.
Every day, we hear about the severe shortage of qualified healthcare workers in Africa, where an estimated 23 million people are currently living with HIV/AIDS. Less often do we celebrate those who have dedicated their lives to this cause – many of whom have been personally impacted by the disease.
We would like to take this opportunity to share a few of their stories. These stories originate from Accordia’s flagship program, the Infectious Diseases Institute in Kampala, Uganda, where over 5,000 healthcare workers from 27 different African countries have been trained, where patient volunteers are empowered to spread messages of prevention and hope, and where advances in research, training methods, and clinical care are developed and tested for broad impact across the region.
