Expanding Our Impact
The Democratic Republic of the Congo has faced tremendous challenges in recent years, including civil strife, corruption, and a deadly Ebola outbreak. In the midst of this instability, an Abt Global-led project is strengthening the capacity of the Congolese health system to deliver quality integrated health services. We are tackling malaria—the DRC’s leading cause of maternal and child morbidity and mortality—as well as malnutrition; tuberculosis; maternal and child health; reproductive health and family planning; and water, sanitation, and hygiene. As part of the Local Health System Sustainability (LHSS) Project, Abt is working with the Ministry of Health, both at the central and provincial levels, on long-term health system sustainability planning, specifically to strengthen public financial management and reduce financial barriers to care.
