Strategic Pillars
Four interconnected pillars designed to close the gap between diagnosis and survival for Ghana’s most vulnerable children.
Child Health Equity Financing
Moving from ad hoc funding to structured financing mechanisms — eliminating financial barriers between diagnosis and treatment for children with critical illnesses.
- Pediatric Critical Illness Access Fund (blended funding pool)
- Gap financing for non-covered NHIS services
- Co-payment support model
- Social protection linkage (LEAP, NHIS exemptions)
- Corporate Pooled Child Survival Fund
- Influence the NHIS benefit package reform
- Develop pediatric risk-pooling mechanisms
Early Diagnosis & Referral Strengthening
Most child deaths are preceded by delayed recognition. We strengthen the systems that identify children early and connect them to the right care quickly.
- Diagnostic support grants to district facilities
- Oxygen and emergency stabilization support
- Standardized referral protocols
- Rapid referral transport partnerships
- Digital case tracking for high-risk children
Care Navigation & Family Support
Critical illness is administratively complex. Trained navigators walk alongside families from diagnosis to recovery — ensuring no one falls through the cracks.
- Hospital-based child health navigators
- Treatment literacy support
- Discharge follow-up tracking
- Psychosocial support referrals
Data, Advocacy & Systems Reform
This is what moves our work beyond charity. Building the evidence base and policy relationships to drive structural change in child health financing.
- Data collection: time to diagnosis, out-of-pocket costs, treatment abandonment rates
- Annual Child Health Equity Report
- NHIS engagement on benefit expansion
- Policy briefs to MoH & Parliament
- Media storytelling for structural change
Priority Conditions
Our financing model is structured in three tiers based on treatment complexity, duration, and disbursement approach.
Acute Emergency
Severe malaria, pneumonia, acute malnutrition, neonatal sepsis
Short-term, high-volume, rapid disbursement.
Structured Treatment
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Wilms tumor, lymphomas, retinoblastoma, congenital heart disease
Protocol-driven, capped financing with defined treatment packages.
Chronic Stabilization
Sickle cell disease, Type 1 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, epilepsy
Stabilization support during financial shock periods, not lifetime coverage.
