Bridging Care
Equipping generalist clinicians and community health workers with context-specific knowledge and skills for delivering essential specialist care in low-resource settings.
This project addresses the shortage of specialist medical and surgical providers in low- and middle-income countries by supporting safe, effective task-sharing. In partnership with Mobiklinic Uganda, it will develop and pilot a mobile-based educational program that equips non-specialist clinicians and community health workers with context-specific guidance for essential specialist care. Initial work will focus on urology and lymphedema topics, with potential to expand into other disciplines as the model is refined and scaled.
Knight-Hennessy scholars represent a vast array of cultures, perspectives, and experiences. While we as an organization are committed to elevating their voices, the views expressed are those of the scholars, and not necessarily those of KHS.
