Global child health programmes

We help improve child health worldwide, with cost effective, high impact programmes. We work with our membership of experienced paediatricians and other child health professionals as well as partner organisations.

Over the years, we've grown significantly, expanding the scale of our work. And, we've consolidated our strategy to focus on improving quality of clinical care for children in hospitals and health centres.
Impact

We work with local partners, ministries of health and international development agencies in a wide range of low- and middle-income settings - with programmes in Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Myanmar, Nepal and Lebanon.
Approach

We recruit and prepare doctors, nurses and other health professionals who help us in all aspects of programme delivery, usually through longer-term placements overseas in the Global Links programme.

Collaboration or integration - from our St David's Day Conference

This excellent event took place last month, curated by our trainee members. Through a series of presentations, we looked at how integrated care can help address complexity and bring efficiency, but also how to link in with others' expertise and perspective.
