Health Initiatives

Empowering communities through sustainable health system interventions.

Global Health Security

One of our major goals is to strengthen public health emergency preparedness and response systems by creating sustainable workplace cultures, practices and policies that will mitigate the spread of infectious diseases.

Health Service Delivery Reform

Sustainable practices are upheld by policies that support them. We work to introduce, modify and improve policies related to better health outcomes.

Health System Solutions

We design sustainable health interventions to tackle public health challenges in Nigeria and Africa.

We Provide Access To Quality Health Care Services For Underserved Communities

GHF is passionate about increasing access to health care in extremely low-resource communities. We facilitate healthcare service delivery in hard-to-reach areas and among displaced persons in Nigeria and Africa.

Public Health Workforce Development

We build and strengthen public health workforce capacity through trainings, on-the-job mentoring and supervision, drills and assessments.

This Project is supported by Grand Challenges Canada. Grand Challenges Canada is funded by the Government of Canada and is dedicated to supporting Bold Ideas with Big Impact®.

"In Nigeria, flooding and extreme rainfall due to climate change have caused widespread devastation and increased transmission of infectious diseases. We are being supported by Grand Challenges Canada to develop a mobile app (FloodAid) that improves emergency response preparedness for the spread of water-borne diseases in flood-prone areas and along migration routes of displaced persons. The app will help surveillance teams to predict areas of disease spread in the event of an outbreak, and plan resource allocation and interventions in real-time for communities that have been displaced due to flooding. Additionally, it will allow users to find nearby health facilities, camps or shelters where they can access help during flood events. Data generated from this app will also facilitate advocacy for integrating climate change awareness in the health sector."
