In the central region of Bafatá, we worked to reduce childhood mortality by managing the regional hospital’s neonatal and paediatric wards and running a nutrition programme for children under 15 years of age.

Our teams also supported several health centres in rural areas and trained community health workers to diagnose and treat diarrhoea, malaria, and acute respiratory infections.

We also worked in the main paediatric hospital in the country, in the capital of Bissau, managing the intensive care unit around the clock.

We handed over our projects in June 2020, leaving our facilities, equipment, and laboratory to the knowledgeable healthcare workers we trained.
