International Health
St John of God Social Outreach works with a number of Governments and local healthcare providers to support them to build sustainable programs and capacity building of their healthcare workforces.
Supporting developing nations to gain the skills to sustainably build their country’s health systems and deliver high quality, compassionate care.
What we do:
St John of God International Health collaborates with local governments and healthcare providers to:
- Upskill healthcare workers at a pace that promotes sustainability
- Identify, articulate and meet agreed standards and goals
- Improve compassionate care through flexible and adaptable role modelling, using a coaching and mentoring approach
- Transform the experience for the people who access these services
We adopt the United Nations’ definition of capacity strengthening:
The process through which individuals, organisations and societies obtain, strengthen and maintain the capabilities to set and achieve their own development objectives over time.
Where we work:
- Timor-Leste - Through our international health programs, St John of God Health Care is supporting the Timorese government to build healthcare capacity through sustainable, long term development programs.
- Papua New Guinea- St John of God Social Outreach established, on behalf of the Brothers of St John of God, the first drop-in centre in the nation for people experiencing mental health issues, located in Madang.
