Our work in Guinea

In 2023, Integrate Health expanded its geographic footprint to reach a second country in the francophone West African region: Guinea. The Guinean Ministry of Health formally requested us to implement the Integrated Primary Care Program in the Kouroussa district, Kankan region, as a way to strengthen the community health. We now work together to fill critical gaps in the national community health strategy, with a focus on vaccination and supporting the development of digital health tools.

Strengthening community health

Integrate Health’s Integrated Primary Care Program is directly aligned with the Guinean government’s national health development plan and its goal of achieving Universal Health Coverage. Through our partnership with Gavi, we are demonstrating impact in some of Guinea’s most remote communities, focusing on vaccination efforts. Additionally, through Project BIRCH, we are channeling more resources into community health and supporting their effective implementation, thereby addressing critical gaps in the government’s community health strategy.
