GHP’s high-impact humanitarian aid has challenged the U.S. embargo for over 22 years by providing more than $131 million in desperately needed medicine and medical supplies to Cuban hospitals and community clinics.

We brought 30 delegations of U.S. surgeons to train their Cuban counterparts in advanced techniques made inaccessible by the embargo, until the U.S. banned such exchanges in 2007.

In the developing world, people with disabilities are among the poorest of the poor, often isolated, stigmatized, and deprived of education, healthcare, rehabilitation therapies, and job training.

GHP partners with Nicaragua’s Los Pipitos, a community- based national network working to build better lives for Nicaraguan children with disabilities in 80 urban and rural centers.

GHP is working to bolster the capacity of Nicaragua’s public health hospitals and community clinics, while increasing the country’s ability to withstand natural disasters such as the hurricanes that regularly batter the region.

In partnership with Nicaragua’s Ministry of Health, we’ve provided over $17 million in lifesaving medicines in 2016 alone, with more shipments in the works.

Our Skills to Save Lives project works to reduce Nicaragua’s unacceptably high maternal death rate. Nearly a quarter of Nicaragua’s poorest women give birth without any assistance from a skilled health professional, with 10 percent receiving no prenatal care at all.

To address this hardship, GHP partners with local NGO Skills to Save Lives and the Women’s Empowerment Network, which trains midwives and community health workers to ensure safe childbirth and healthy newborns.

Nicaraguan women suffer from one of the world’s highest death rates from cervical cancer, a horrific toll that is preventable and rare in the developed world.

To combat this disease, GHP is partnering with the country’s Ministry of Health and the U.S.-based Global Coalition Against Cervical Cancer to develop and launch a national prevention, screening and treatment program.
