With some good progress over the last 30
years by the global development sector,
there are still too many communities
suffering the tragedy of extreme poverty
and health inequity.
Build partnerships to collectively achieve sustainable
change in their health systems and in the lives of women
and children.

CMMB is committed to strengthening the primary healthcare
system from the community to the health center:
• Clinical Care. We work to strengthen infrastructure and
equipment and health workforce to ensure that services
are available 24/7.
• Outreach services. CMMB ensures that primary health
services are accessible and available to remote areas by
extending basic services into the community.
• Community health programs. CMMB believes that a well
developed community health system is essential in
complementing the primary healthcare.

13. Appendices Health Information
Health systems across the developing world are facing challenges to cope
with the high burden of diseases against the backdrop of shortage of health
care professionals, and inadequacies in medicines, medical supplies,
funding, equipment and infrastructure, including Information and
Communications Technologies (ICTs).
Digital health offers possibilities for addressing several of these challenges

14. The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation and CMMB have decided to partner to build capacity and bring
innovation in eHealth/mHealth at: 1) an institutional level to a select group of Catholic health
facilities, and 2) an individual level among a select group of women religious (i.e. Catholic sisters)
who operate in those health facilities and systems in various roles of the health sciences…
