Healthcare Provider Empowerment
Strengthening health systems starts with empowering healthcare providers (HCPs) through trainings and cultivating an integrated approach from referral to care.
Making NCD knowledge accessible online
The GHU collaborates with mulitiple organizations to conduct large-scale capacity building by providing training for HCPs through e-learning platforms. This ambitious project targets HCPs, empowering them with confidence and knowledge to support NCD patients.
Online trainings through the UNFM (Tanzania, Chad, Niger and Djibouti) targets physicians, and is reinforced by local NCD experts. Our partnership with WCEA (Malawi, Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone, Tanzania and Uganda), offers free online NCD training on various topics to all levels of HCPs.
Through collaboration with IDF, 1,500 scholarships participate in online Diabetes courses throughout 40 LMIC countries along with 2,500 in-person trainings.
Non-communicable diseases are silently killing more people around the world. Availability of resources, not limited to information about management, can enable health workers to reduce the mortality rate. ”
Expanding Specialist workforce through fellowships
Oncologist Specialist Training Program Partnering with The Uganda Cancer Institute (UCI)
The GHU’s work with UCI funds stipends for 14 oncology fellowships at the East African Center of Excellence for Oncology. GHU supports the development of UCI as a regional center of excellence, through successful completion of the training, generating new staff.
Investing to Empower Pharmacists with the GHU Impact Fund
The Impact Fund helps empower HCPs in Southeast Asia by investing in SwipeRX and its community platform which provides pharmacists with access to accredited continuing education modules and collaboration with peers. Over 30,900 pharmacists in Cambodia (represents 1 in 2 pharmacists) have completed educational courses in 2023.
This initiative improves the quality of care pharmacists deliver, including better case management, referrals and adverse event reporting, while fostering a virtuous cycle where engagement strengthens adoption of the platform’s commercial services.
