About the sponsor

Global Strategies

Global Strategies is a California-based NGO that sponsors local-led health programs for women and children in the developing world, with special emphasis on the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, and India. It was founded 20 years ago by noted HIV researcher Arthur Ammann, who remains on the Board to the present day. The president is Dr. Joshua Bress, a neonatologist with experience practicing neonatal healthcare in Goma and elsewhere in Africa. The common thread of Global Strategies programs is integrating data collection and analysis into healthcare provision to achieve a specific end, for example to ensure that critical medications in rural clinics remain in stock.
