We’ve reached an incredible milestone - 500,000 care pathways supported through NoviGuide.
That means nurses across Uganda and Eastern Congo are using NoviGuide to help guide care for newborns and children in critical moments.
And this is just the beginning.
As NoviGuide expands into pediatric care, use is growing quickly - and we’re working toward our next goal:
1 million care pathways by the end of the year.

News from Global Strategies. NoviGuide has reached a major milestone: over 500,000 care pathways!

À Bukavu, deux grandes rencontres ont permis à des élèves de mieux comprendre les enjeux de l’égalité de genre et de renforcer leur leadership. Les discussions et les ateliers ont abordé des thématiques variées et adaptées tel que : orientation scolaire des filles, estime de soi, prévention des violences et rôle des garçons comme alliés.

💡 En soutenant des initiatives co-construites et adaptées aux réalités locales, l’USI et ses partenaires contribuent à promouvoir un impact durable en matière d’égalité de genre et d’autonomisation des femmes.

Le projet Tumaini, Santé et droits des femmes, des adolescentes et des enfants est mis en œuvre par l’USI et l’Observatoire Hygeia de l’Université de Montréal avec Panzi Foundation DRC, Avocats sans frontières Canada et Global Strategies. Le projet Tumaini bénéficie de l’appui financier du Canada, accordé par l’entremise de Le développement international du Canada - Affaires mondiales Canada.

It was a pleasure to join Dr. Shubs Upadhyay on Global Perspectives on Digital Health to revisit the history of NoviGuide and discuss where it is headed.
At the center of the conversation is a decision we made early on. If you are trying to address a problem as large as child mortality, the tool has to be something that the busiest nurses in the world would choose to reach for on their own.
That observation shaped the approach. The goal was not just to digitize guidelines, but to ‘delight’ nurses who would be counted on to drive uptake and adoption.
How do you scale something like this without losing the connection to the clinicians who shaped it? How do you align with national guidelines across countries without creating something too complex to sustain?
We discuss these questions in the episode. We’re grateful to Shubs Upadhyay for creating space for these important conversations through this podcast.

Respiratory illnesses remain one of the leading causes of death among children in under-resourced settings - and frontline providers often lack the tools they need to make rapid, evidence-based decisions.
Global Strategies is proud to partner with ALRITE to help improve care for children facing respiratory illness.
By strengthening clinical decision-making through practical digital tools, we’re helping ensure more children receive timely, accurate treatment.
Read the full story about our ALRITE partnership here.
We’re honored to collaborate with ALRITE and excited about the impact ahead.

The application, known as ALRITE (Acute Lower Respiratory Illness Treatment and Evaluation), is designed to support health workers in the assessment, diagnosis, and management of children under five years suffering from acute respiratory conditions such as asthma and other wheezing illnesses.

We’re pleased to share an important leadership update at Global Strategies.
Dr. Elizabeth Rogers has been appointed Board Chair. An Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco and practicing neonatologist in the Intensive Care Nursery, she has dedicated her career to caring for preterm newborns and their families.
Her work focuses on guiding families through the challenges of very early birth, protecting the developing brain, and improving long-term outcomes for babies after critical illness.
“As a neonatologist, I have seen how critical timely, evidence-based decisions are for vulnerable newborns and their families,” Dr. Rogers shared. “Global Strategies translates science into practical tools that empower frontline providers.”
Colin Boyle will serve as Treasurer, and Nicole Rubin transitions from Board Chair to Secretary — reflecting the Board’s commitment to shared leadership and continuity.
We are grateful for this strong leadership team as we continue expanding access to high-quality care for mothers, newborns, and children in under-resourced settings.
