Projects

In its first five years, Pangaea has partnered with the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation to assist the governments of China, Ukraine, South Africa, Rwanda, and the Bahamas in the development and implementation of countrywide plans for providing HIV/AIDS care and treatment, including ARVs. In China, for example, Pangaea began work in May 2004 as a partner in the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation's HIV/AIDS Initiative. Pangaea's role has been to provide technical assistance to the Ministry of Health in support of expanding a national program for HIV/AIDS care and treatment. Pangaea professionals are providing assistance in a number of areas, including the development of national treatment guidelines for use of antiretroviral therapies, clinical training of health professionals and planning for a national scale-up of training, and development of systems for monitoring and evaluation.

In Uganda, Pangaea has partnered with Pfizer Inc, Makerere University and the Academic Alliance for AIDS Care and Prevention in Africa, an organization of North American and Ugandan physicians, to build a state-of-the-art HIV/AIDS training center and clinic, which opened in August 2004. Pangaea provides construction oversight, as well as fiscal and administrative management support for all phases of the project.

Pangaea is dedicated to helping developing countries expand their existing health care systems so that they are able to provide sustainable, comprehensive HIV care and treatment, including ARVs, to all people with HIV/AIDS.
