Africa
Strengthening local health systems and addressing health disparities in maternal and child health, HIV/AIDS, noncommunicable diseases, and humanitarian response
The Context
Project HOPE began working in Africa in the mid-1960s when the SS HOPE deployed to the coast of Guinea. In 1984, we launched our first health program in-country focused on revamping nursing education in Swaziland. By 1990, our work in Africa expanded to Malawi to improve child survival, beginning our decades-long work to improve maternal and child health across the continent. We have since worked to expand access to care and treatment for underserved populations; build health worker capacity; improve screening, diagnosis, and management of diseases; and respond to crises.
