Years active in East Africa and now Latin America and the Middle East.
We work with local partners to provide sustainable, cost-effective healthcare through clinical service provision, research and capacity-building programs that are designed by community healthcare providers and appropriate for their needs.
Featured projects in 2024
Through a Grand Challenges Canada grant we are working on combatting the effects of climate change on human health in the Peruvian Amazon.
Learn about our Education Fund for East Africa.
Learn about our impact in Yemen through our first Humanitarian Grand Challenges Grant.
In 2023, Bridge to Health became the recipient of our second Grand Challenges Canada grant to explore the use of Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) as a predictor for severe Dengue. We're training physicians in local and regional hospitals in POCUS and have donated several devices to the region.
This new project is designed to complement our existing work with the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change to link health vulnerabilities and climate change in the region. After extensive research over several years, we're now implementing our projects to reduce the health burden in partnership with local communities.
Bridge to Health is sponsoring students in East Africa to attend medical school. Our first recipient began at the University of Nairobi, Kenya in September 2021 and we have since been able to sponsor two more students in Uganda in 2022 and 2023.
Our recipients are also our local focal points for our programs and participate in our yearly capacity-building outreaches.
To donate or learn more about the Education Fund, please reach out to us.
As one of the recipients of the Humanitarian Grand Challenges Canada grant, we are working to train local physicians in Yemen in Point-of-Care Ultrasound, specifically focusing on internal trauma and pregnancy complications that can only be seen through ultrasound.
Having saved hundreds of lives since its inception in 2019 and bringing significant cost savings to the hospitals, our program is now in the Transition-to-Scale phase.
Donate to support our work.
You can select which program you'd like to support and 100% of your donation will be allocated to the project.
