Continuity of Care
Healthier lives. Stronger livelihoods.
Santé supports children and adolescents living with chronic conditions such as sickle cell disease, HIV, epilepsy, asthma and diabetes to stay connected to care over time. We work with families, health workers and communities to strengthen follow-up, referral, caregiver support and transition to adult care.

What We Do
Financial tools that remove the barriers standing between families and care.
-
Caregiver skills and support Equip families with practical, condition-specific knowledge to confidently support care at home.
-
Referral and follow-up Help children complete referrals, keep appointments and reconnect quickly when care is interrupted.
-
Care navigation Support families to understand where to go, what care is needed and how to move between services.
-
Adolescent transition support Prepare young people and their caregivers for the gradual shift from caregiver-supported paediatric care to more independent adult-oriented care.
-
Learning and improvement Identify where children are being lost from care, test practical solutions and generate evidence that can strengthen routine services.
There are 1 in 2 families that struggle to stay connected to the care they need.
How it Works
Paid community roles and targeted
support where the need is greatest.
Identify gaps in care → Understand why they happen → Equip families and health workers → Strengthen referral and follow-up → Track continuity → Learn and improve
Our goal is to strengthen the care pathways families already use, not create parallel systems.
Partnerships and Sustainability
Strengthening both refugee and refugee hosting communities alike.
We work with health facilities, caregivers, young people, community health workers, patient organisations, researchers and government partners.
By embedding practical tools, caregiver education and follow-up approaches within existing services, we aim to build solutions that can be sustained, adapted and adopted within routine care.
