Our work in Togo
Integrate Health started its journey in Togo in 2004. We now implement the Integrated Primary Care Program in communities across five districts (Kéran, Kozah, Binah, Bassar, Dankpen) in the Kara region. We provide access to quality primary care to over 200,000 people and collaborate with the government on national programs and policies that multiply our impact.
Our Togo story
Integrate Health was founded in 2004 through a partnership between Togolese activists, individuals living with HIV, and American Peace Corps Volunteers. Four of our founding members continue to steer the organization, and over the years, we’ve evolved from providing antiretroviral therapy to a handful of patients to offering comprehensive primary healthcare to hundreds of thousands across Togo.
Togolese activists and Peace Corp volunteers came together to implement the first antiretroviral therapy program in Northern Togo.
Building on the success of the program, the Ministry of Health replicates it as part of an expanding partnership.
Integrate Health expands its mission with the launch of the Integrated Primary Care Program to serve women and children.
The Integrated Primary Care Program is fully replicated across five districts, serving 200,000 people and supporting 25 health centers.
Integrate Health starts handing over ownership of the IPCP to the government, aiming for national scale.
Integrate Health accompanies the government to implement the IPCP in the Anie district located in the Plateaux region.
Accompanying the government
We are a technical partner to the government, supporting the development of national programs (ultrasound, Wezou) and policies and advising on how to strengthen their own community-based primary care systems based on what we’ve learned implementing the IPCP. We accompany the government to reach their own Universal Health Coverage goals. Our assistance includes the provision of cost and impact modeling, support on digital health solutions, and more.
