The funding programme Hospital Partnerships

The GIZ funding programme Hospital Partnerships - Partners Strengthen Health promotes cooperation between German hospitals, universities, colleges, and non-governmental organizations and those in partner countries. Hospital partners are active worldwide in all medical fields. The program is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. It is commissioned and financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and co-financed by the Else Kröner-Fresenius Foundation (EKFS).

Strengthening healthcare worldwide

The funding programme aims to contribute to strengthening health systems through long-term, sustainable partnerships. The partnerships are embedded in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically Goal 3 on "Good Health and well-being " and Goal 17 "Partnerships for the goals". Through the program, Hospital Partners are embedded in numerous professional and regional networking and exchange formats. This enables them to deepen their competencies in international cooperation and shared learning. The GIZ team advises them on project management, communication and administration.
