By integrating leadership training, fostering strategic partnerships, and addressing critical health challenges, PHI’s Sustaining Technical and Analytic Resources (STAR) supported the immediate needs of global health professionals and laid the groundwork for sustained impact in the field of global health.
Throughout the life of the project (2018-2024), STAR recruited and supported over 300 skilled global health professionals who were able to contribute technical leadership and expertise in many areas, and whose work made an impact in 41 countries. STAR participants and partners collaborated in the development of systems and tools that strengthened and sustained local and global health responses and built capacity to better address diseases, epidemics, and pandemics in resource variable settings.
Some examples of global health impacts achieved by STAR participants include:
- developing emergency room protocols in Nepal
- providing technical assistance in multiple countries for appropriate COVID patient management
- supporting supply chain management for COVID vaccines
- improving infection control in health facilities in Afghanistan to prevent TB transmission among healthcare workers
- promoting community-based models to increase adherence to anti-retroviral treatment for people living with HIV in Nigeria and increase HIV testing in Zambia
- adapting to adverse conditions during the COVID pandemic to ensure the continuity of family planning services globally
