Healthcare Centered Community Development
Beyond the operating room: A new vision for global surgery
Upasuaji International envisions thriving communities in Sub-Saharan Africa, achieved through equitable access to life-changing surgical care and the empowerment of local healthcare providers.
Global surgery initiatives have struggled to address the complex surgical care access crisis. Upasuaji International proposes a new approach: Healthcare Centered Community Development (HCCD).
This model, inspired by the historical role of central institutions in nurturing strong communities, envisions building communities around health centers. This approach focuses on improving access to care, creating jobs, developing infrastructure, and promoting education, ensuring a sustainable solution to the global surgery crisis.
The Down Syndrome Centres of East Africa is an initiative of Upasuaji International serves individuals with Down syndrome and their families in East Africa. We are committed to promoting inclusion, empowering individuals with Down syndrome to reach their full potential, and fostering a society that values and celebrates diversity. SEE MORE
