What we do
The funding programme Hospital Partnerships – Partners Strengthen Health was established by Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the Else Kröner-Fresenius Foundation as an important contribution for global health in the context of international collaboration. Since its start in 2016, the initiative has supported actors from medical and healthcare institutions in Germany in assisting their partners in low- and middle-income countries to build-up and implement health services. The focus of these programmes is on education and training. All medical areas and specialisations are represented. Twice per year, the programme publishes an award in the amount of 50.000 euros. Subsequent funding is also available.
Our partners are all experts: hospital managers, doctors, health scientists, midwives, nurses, public health specialists, microbiologists, laboratory technicians as well as medical technicians and administrators among others. They work together with their partners at eye-level and across national boundaries. Through this approach, health services can be improved in a targeted manner on the ground.

We do love to support small organisations: Take the chance and apply now!
We have learned a lot in Eritrea - for example how you can make the best of a situation in a hospital for mother-and-child-care.
The point-of-care-ultrasound-training with my german colleague gives me the opportunity to make a quick and safe diagnosis.
"With our hospital partners in Cameroon we have established new studies at University."
I am thrilled to see how engaged my young colleagues from the Republic of Moldovia are in order to develop their own health system for the future.
The trainings in Germany widens our view on diagnosis and therapy methods on tuberculosis.
"What a sucess: In Eritrea we aimed to train 5 physicians and more than 100 midwives - thanks to the Hospital Partnership Initiative!"
Our friendship and trust with the colleagues in Madagascar makes our hospital partnership strong.
