Central America is a region that faces great challenges in providing access
to quality healthcare for its citizens. These challenges are exacerbated in rural
areas where poverty, political and social marginalization, and a lack of basic
services are the norm.
The Central American Healthcare Initiative (CAHI) aims to tackle these
intractable problems by promoting access to better healthcare for the poorest
Central Americans.
Through our three programs we analyze successful models and disseminate
the best healthcare practices to scale and replicate innovation, support social
leaders to implement and scale transformational innovations in healthcare, and
forming highly-skilled health managers for more efficient and effective healthcare
systems.
Some of CAHI’s innovation projects throughout the region include: a) The
transfer of knowledge from a leading private hospital to public hospitals of best
practices for improving patient safety, b) The reduction of mother-to-child
transmission of HIV and syphilis with specially trained community health
promoters.
We believe in a Central America where all people have access to high-
quality healthcare, regardless of socioeconomic and geographic constraints.
