Programs

Focusing on Permanent Solutions

Accordia Global Health Foundation was established to design, implement, and evaluate innovative programs that will combat infectious diseases in Africa. Moreover, we seek to equip healthcare leaders with the tools and knowledge they need to thwart the spread of pandemic diseases such as HIV/AIDS in the future.

Accordia brings a wealth of expertise and insight to the programs described below, through our Academic Alliance network of infectious disease specialists, our International Science Advisory Board, and strong relationships with leaders in academia, government, and the private sector.

Through collaboration with our diverse partners, we pilot powerful healthcare capacity-building programs that can be expanded to have an enormous regional impact in Africa.
