Health and disease management

Communicable diseases

We support health authorities in designing and implementing strategies to combat communicable diseases, particularly HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, based on WHO and Global Fund strategies. 
Our services include:

• The development of integrated prevention, screening and treatment programmes to improve access to care
• The strengthening of health systems, including the training of health professionals and the optimisation of medical resource management
• The training of health professionals in updated protocols and community-based approaches
• The establishment of epidemiological surveillance and data management systems
• The development of targeted communication and awareness campaigns

Our approach is part of a multisectoral and sustainable vision aimed at strengthening the resilience of health systems to epidemic risks and sustainably improving access to healthcare for the most vulnerable populations, with a focus on isolated regions.

Non-communicable diseases 

With the epidemiological transition, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) – such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and chronic respiratory diseases – are a growing concern for governments due to their impact on morbidity, mortality and health systems.

We are taking action to improve the management of these diseases and strengthen access to quality care through:

• The development of innovative organisational models for integrated chronic disease management
• Capacity strengthening of primary care structures
• The promotion of coordinated and continuous patient monitoring
• Support for the development of national strategies and appropriate monitoring mechanisms.

Our goal is to contribute to the establishment of more effective health systems capable of responding effectively to the challenges posed by NCDs.

Nutrition and WASH 

We work to improve nutrition, food security and access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) to strengthen the resilience of the most vulnerable populations.

Our activities in this area benefit from the synergy of skills brought together within Ginger SOFRECO (Agriculture, Environment and Infrastructure) and focus on:

• Developing and updating multisectoral policies and strategic frameworks for nutrition
• Strengthening health and agricultural systems
• Promoting appropriate nutritional and hygiene practices
• Improving infrastructure for access to water and sanitation

By taking this integrated approach, we can respond coherently to the determinants of malnutrition and public health, in line with local priorities and existing capacities.
