Partnering with communities for a healthier future.
Emergency Relief for Kalangala Cyclone Victims
Less than three weeks ago, Bridge to Health had a team on the ground in Kalangala, Uganda, working closely with the community to provide essential healthcare services. Today, we are heartbroken to learn that a devastating cyclone has struck, killing at least four people, injuring many others, and destroying hundreds of homes and critical infrastructure.
In an effort to support the community we are so deeply connected to, we are launching an urgent fundraising campaign to provide immediate relief to those affected.

We work with local partners to provide sustainable, cost-effective healthcare through clinical service provision, research and capacity-building programs that are designed by community healthcare providers and appropriate for their needs.
Featured projects in 2024
Through a Grand Challenges Canada grant we are working on combatting the effects of climate change on human health in the Peruvian Amazon.
Learn about our Education Fund for East Africa.
Learn about our impact in Yemen through our first Humanitarian Grand Challenges Grant.
In 2023, Bridge to Health became the recipient of our second Grand Challenges Canada grant to explore the use of Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) as a predictor for severe Dengue. We're training physicians in local and regional hospitals in POCUS and have donated several devices to the region.
This new project is designed to complement our existing work with the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change to link health vulnerabilities and climate change in the region. After extensive research over several years, we're now implementing our projects to reduce the health burden in partnership with local communities.
Bridge to Health is sponsoring students in East Africa to attend medical school. Our first recipient began at the University of Nairobi, Kenya in September 2021 and we have since been able to sponsor two more students in Uganda in 2022 and 2023.
Our recipients are also our local focal points for our programs and participate in our yearly capacity-building outreaches.

As one of the recipients of the Humanitarian Grand Challenges Canada grant, we are working to train local physicians in Yemen in Point-of-Care Ultrasound, specifically focusing on internal trauma and pregnancy complications that can only be seen through ultrasound.
Having saved hundreds of lives since its inception in 2019 and bringing significant cost savings to the hospitals, our program is now in the Transition-to-Scale phase.
