Projects in Uganda
Infectious Disease Institute at Makerere University
Pangaea provided fiscal and administrative management support for the construction of a new Infectious Disease Institute at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda. This facility, which opened on August 30, 2004, serves as both a regional HIV clinical training center for physicians and nurses and as a treatment clinic for people living with HIV.
The Infectious Disease Institute is a product of a partnership between Pangaea, the Academic Alliance for AIDS Care and Prevention in Africa (“Academic Alliance”), and Pfizer Inc, which provided an $11 million construction and program grant for the project. In addition to providing oversight of the construction itself, the Pangaea staff created the necessary financial, legal, administrative and management systems to support the development and successful roll-out of the institute’s training and treatment programs. With construction complete and all financial and administrative systems are in order, the facility was turned over to the College of Health Sciences at Makerere University in June of 2005.
