American International Health Alliance [AIHA] is a nonprofit organisation aiming for assisting the global health. [1]The organisation has managed more than 175 partnerships and project across the globe.[1] In 2012, AIHA obtained the support of PEPFAR project to strengthen the blood service in Central Asia, Ukraine, and Cambodia. [1]Due to its structure based on the programmatic modal and dynamic condition, this organisation is suitable to assist the community or worldwide countries which have limited resources, and it is beneficial for sustainable evolution.[1] AIHA is contributing to improve the worldwide health conditions. This organisation has been associated and largely contributed in the HIV-related area since 2000.[1]
AIHA History
AIHA established in 1992, which provides the healthcare services and supporting professional medical education organisation. The initial purpose is assisting the nations of the former Soviet Union to build a more complete healthcare system. It is the first organisation that forming the cooperative agreements with the countries which are equivalent with US, those countries are Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.[2] IIn 1993, this program expanded to more area such as Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan, and it dabbled the broader area, including infection control, nursing, women’s health and so on.[3] In 2000, to cope with the increasing HIV/AIDS epidemic in some areas, AIHA set up a pilot program to control and prevent the mother-to-child transmission of HIV in those suffered countries. In 2016, AIHA established two biomedical partnerships to enhance the local capability of cadre in Uganda and Kenya.[3] According to the management of the aids intervention plan, this project and new partnership can improve the treatment for the local in Zambia.[3]
The partnership model
The partnership model of AIHA demonstrates that host community should develop the recognition of ownership for both the programs and the methodology in order to have a sustainable outcome.
AIHA improved Russian health care plan by sponsoring the programs in a partnership between US and Russian communities since 1992.[4] Due to the deterioration of health condition in Russia since 1960s, and the fall of Soviet Union caused the failure of supporting health service which resulted with the shortage of medications, decreasing life span and increasing mortality. Russian health system was lack of the clinical practice, centralised management structure, and a compartmentalised specialist-based system.[4]
In 1996, new partnership between Los Alamos, NM, and its sister city, Sarov, Russia has began. AIHA granted the partnership with the goal of boosting the health of children and improving the treatment of chronic diseases in Savor community oriented primary care(COPC), which is summarised to the Los Alamos-Sarov medical partnership.
AIHA implemented the health-care model in accordance with guidelines for asthma and diabetes that evidently resulted in clinic improvements. [2]They began to implement collection of data system to provide the information recycle for detecting the quality of result. [2]The initial activity changed the dangerous behaviour of teenagers, and the paediatric and adult dental health and breastfeeding. [2]These activities could be developed and replicated in other places.[2] The cultural and historical factors influence the Russian health system, the primary step for Sarov is to construct trusting relationship with America.Dividing health service and professional-orientation system may impede the participation of multi-projects and communities. It is hard to describe the local health needs due to the lack of information.[2] AIHA and Sarov had challenged during monitoring and calculating process.
Nursing programme
With the corporation from USAId in USA, the Orenburg AIDS Centre accepted more Russian traditional nurses who had few experiences in looking after the patients, and they had become more professional.They changed those patients with wrong cognition who claimed that it was no necessary to take medication, because Aids are uncured. antiretroviral drugs kept the HIV bacteria in a very low level to improve the health and living standards of patients. This positive changes had proved that the nursing is essentially important in improving the quality of health care.[5]
Asthma programme
One of the project is Asthma Self-Care. 85 adults and 30 paediatric patients with persistent symptom participated a project in 6 months. [2]All had attended the asthma school and showed awareness of diseases and techniques of the self-assistance. The initial feedback reveals that the emergency time had decreased. The program has been expanded to 195 patients.[2]
