Pangaea was responsible for managing capital construction, design of medical record systems, implementation of ART programs, establishing administrative support systems, and managing the implementation of programs before transferring ownership of the IDI to Makerere University.
Women and Girls
Pangaea is developing initiatives in Africa designed to more closely link HIV prevention and treatment activities, as well as developing special programs focused on women’s health.
