Our Approach

Our Approach

Our approach is based on our extensive experience conducting high impact research to improve health outcomes, with a specificity on enhancing human resources and capacity, throughout the healthcare continuum. Based on our global experience, we have developed a conceptual model of approach in all of our work called S.U.S.T.A.I.N. [Share, Utilize, Solve, Train, Advance, Implement, Network with a motto of “Sharing and utilizing evidence informed solutions to train stakeholders, advance, and implement strategies through network building”.

What our trainees are saying

  • “It has been helpful to identify and access patients with hypertension, read their lab results with them, accurately take their blood pressure measurements, while using the risk prediction chart for estimation of CVD risk.”

    Quote from nurse trained in Ghana (2017)

  • “The most important thing is training staff as managing NCDs like hypertension is very expensive. Taking blood pressure is a simple activity that our nurses can do and so it is important that we have programs like TASSH to train them.”

    Quote from clinical site director in Ghana (2017)

  • “Since doing the training, I am able to counsel patients on control and treatment of hypertension by discussing diet and lifestyle changes and their goals. I also educate patients about their medications.”

    Quote from nurse trained in Ghana (2017)

  • “The shifting of our tasks to the nurses frees up our time and allows us to provide more attentive and holistic care to patients with more acute conditions.”

    Quote from clinical site director in Ghana (2017)

  • “TASSH has helped many clients with high BP to reduce it from abnormal to normal. It has also helped some patients know more about their condition.”
