“The laughter and cries of those little angels keep going through my mind. I will carry those memories with me wherever I go,” says Grace Kariuki-Mogaka, senior programs officer, referring to IntraHealth’s Kenya staff team’s visit to Kenyatta National Hospital to celebrate an early Christmas with children in the pediatric ward on November 20, 2009. The staff used the funds allocated to them for an end-of-year holiday event to buy the children gifts such as clothes, shoes, toys, and a Christmas cake. 

IntraHealth is working to improve access to HIV/AIDS community services in the Eastern Caribbean island nations of Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, St. Kitts and Nevis, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines through the Eastern Caribbean Community Action Project (EC-CAP). The International HIV/AIDS Alliance leads EC-CAP, a USAID-funded, three-year project that began in 2007. The University of California at San Francisco also supports the project.

“I am slowly settling back, but it’s hard!” says Isabelle Bertrand, who recently completed her six-month fellowship with IntraHealth. “I’m missing Senegal very much.”

IntraHealth International will lead a new USAID-funded global project to improve health services in the developing world by strengthening the health care workforce. The Human Resources for Health and Quality Services (HRHQS) Project will increase the quantity of available health workers and the quality of services by working with global organizations and developing country institutions to test and roll out successful workforce planning, retention, recruitment, training and deployment interventions.
