Programs

Malawi

The UCLA Program in Global Health has forged strong relationships with institutions in Malawi in order to conduct clinical, behavioral, and basic science research, and to provide a training opportunity for residents and fellows. We are collaborating with the Partners in Hope (PIH) Medical Center in Lilongwe, Malawi. PIH provides free HIV education, care, and treatment to Malawi’s poor. The clinic has the capacity to provide HIV care to 5,000 patients per month. PGH has equipped the PIH Medical Center with a research/clinical laboratory to support future collaborations.

EQUIP-Malawi is a collaboration among the Partners in Hope clinic in Lilongwe, Malawi; UCLA PGH; the Malawi Ministry of Health; the Christian Health Association of Malawi; Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation; and Baylor International Pediatric AIDS Initiative. EQUIP-Malawi is funded by PEPFAR through USAID-Malawi, and the goal is to improve the capacity of health care systems in central Malawi to deliver HIV/AIDS care by improving the continuum of HIV care, the quality and efficiency of care, and workforce training and development.

PGH also maintains a Clinical Rotation Program at the Partners in Hope Clinic for residents at UCLA.
