Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation–Uganda: A Key Partner in the Texas Children’s Global Health Network

Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation–Uganda is a valued member of the Texas Children’s Global Health Network, a collaborative initiative established in 1999 by the Baylor International Pediatric AIDS Initiative (BIPAI). The Network was created to enhance pediatric and family HIV care, treatment, and health professional training.

BIPAI’s efforts in Uganda were supported by Baylor College of Medicine, Texas Children’s Hospital, the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation, Mulago Hospital, and the Republic of Uganda. As a result, Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation–Uganda was established and later registered as a local non-governmental organization in 2006.

The Texas Children’s Global Health Network, headquartered in Houston, operates through implementing partners in Argentina, Botswana, Colombia, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Romania, Tanzania, and Uganda. The network manages 11 Centers of Excellence and 9 satellite facilities, providing integrated maternal and child health services across three continents. This includes a tuberculosis center in Eswatini and a women’s health center in Malawi.
