The importance of healthcare in our interconnected world has never been clearer. Today, AMPATH announced new partnership sites in Tamale, Ghana, and Puebla, Mexico<https://tracking.etapestry.com/t/42625968/1537997987/89838582/0/87212/?x=c6ac4dbb>, to meet the global need for strong health systems. This work is supported by donations totaling more than US$10 million from the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust, Eli Lilly and Company and the Lilly Foundation. “For more than three decades, AMPATH has provided an opportunity for both Kenyans and North Americans to improve care and deliver training and research opportunities that are mutually beneficial to all members of the partnership as well as the populations we serve,” said Dr. Paul Ayuo, AMPATH Replication Ambassador from Moi University. “We look forward with great anticipation to building those same benefits with our colleagues in Ghana and Mexico.” [https://content.etapestry.com/etapdndcontent/etap-IndianaUniversityInstituteFor/0a5293be_7b19_4a31_a3ab_e6cc2254cb19.png]<https://tracking.etapestry.com/t/42625968/1537997987/89838582/0/87212/?x=c6ac4dbb> USAID 4TheChild Brings Light, Joy and Hope to Vulnerable Families with Solar Lamps [https://content.etapestry.com/etapdndcontent/etap-IndianaUniversityInstituteFor/DSC_0043_small.jpg]<https://tracking.etapestry.com/t/42625968/1537997987/89838584/0/87212/?x=3e40bc1b> Mama Lucia’s hatred for kerosene lamps was never in doubt. Mama Lucia’s family has no access to main grid electricity or money to purchase renewable energy sources. One night, one of her sons blew their lamp out after a cough seized him. Mama Lucia groped in the dark for a matchstick to relight the lamp only to shriek at a touch of a cold skin under a three-legged stool that she used to elevate the lamp to light up the whole room. Mama Lucia declares that she misjudged her husband’s old, leather belt for a snake, and almost died of a heart attack. The 49-year-old physically impaired mother of four squealed with delight upon receiving new solar lamps from USAID 4TheChild<https://tracking.etapestry.com/t/42625968/1537997987/89838584/0/87212/?x=3e40bc1b>.

The HPV vaccine is one of the strategies recommended to tackle cervical cancer effectively. USAID AMPATH Uzima has supported a series of Integrated Health Outreaches and School Health Programs. These activities aim to increase the uptake of the HPV vaccine in school-going children. The healthcare workers in the county have administered 14,817 HPV vaccines between June-December 2021 and have intensified their outreach during Cervical Cancer Awareness Month.
