Baylor Foundation Eswatini is committed to improving the health and wellbeing of children and families in Eswatini.Overview
Baylor Foundation Eswatini is committed to improving the health and wellbeing of children and families in Eswatini. We do this through direct healthcare services, education, research, and advocacy efforts with a particular focus on HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment. Our programs aim to provide comprehensive support to both individuals and communities, strengthening their capacities and improving their quality of life.
Baylor Foundation-Eswatini implements a child and adolescent health program, focusing on interventions that address the major causes of morbidity and mortality in children as well as those which are proven to be highly effective in improving the health and development of adolescents living with HIV. We are the national leader in pediatric HIV/AIDS and TB care and treatment in the country, caring for almost half of all children on antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Eswatini.
Note from our Executive Director
Since inception of the organization in 2005, Baylor Foundation Eswatini staff and management have dedicated themselves to serving pediatric and adolescents in the entire Kingdom. The team worked hard over the years to ensure that no child dies due to AIDS and TB. Baylor Foundation Eswatini works hand in glove with the Government of the Kingdom of Eswatini to provide high-quality health care services, education and research aimed at improving lives of paediatrics, adolescents and their families.
To date, Baylor Foundation Eswatini has over 5,000 clients on HIV and TB treatment monitored by specialized health care professionals. We pride ourselves on a low lost-to-follow-up rate and high rates of viral suppression amongst our clients.
Baylor Foundation Eswatini would not be successful if it was not for the generosity of donors and sponsors locally, regionally and globally. Strong partnerships are also created to improve healthcare services in the country. Our appreciation goes to the Ministry of Health for their strong leadership and comprehensive strategies to assist paediatrics, adolescents and their families to live healthy and fulfilled lives.
We shall continue to advocate for innovation and equity in the fight against HIV and TB. We shall also address other public health threats to improve the lives of Emaswati.
