“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Health & Technology: Global Strategies develops and implements innovative technological solutions that help our partners overcome the challenges of their limited resource settings. We focus on using simple and scalable technologies that allow healthcare providers to track their outcomes in real-time using cloud-based data collection software and analysis tools. We help our partners establish baseline data in neonatal mortality rates and stillbirth rates. Additionally, we use technology to track inventory of critical supplies and predict stock needs over time. We also work to bridge the gap between care delivery and data collection by developing software programs that facilitate care delivery while simultaneously collecting data that guides resource allocation. Global Strategies developed our own neonatal decision support tool, called NoviGuide that will begin field testing this year. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Public Issue Advocacy: Global Strategies works with local implementing partners in resource poor countries to develop scalable models for delivering care in environments with poor infrastructure. We share our models through publications in academic journals, presentations at Global Health conferences and meetings with key international stakeholders. This year Global Strategies focused on sharing our model for delivering post-rape medical care with representatives of UNICEF and the UNFPA. Additionally, Global Strategies was invited as guest lecturers to Stanford University to speak about womens health.”
