Project Coordinator, Center for Integration Science in Global Health Equity

Directed by Dr. Gene Bukhman, the Center for Integration Science (CIS) in Global Health Equity develops, implements, and evaluates integrated care delivery models to address neglected health issues in highly constrained health systems. The most prominent of those models is PEN-Plus (the Package of Essential Noncommunicable Disease Interventions - Plus). PEN-Plus is a proven integrated healthcare delivery strategy for delivering complex care to people living with such conditions as type 1 diabetes, sickle cell disease, and rheumatic and congenital heart disease in rural sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

The CIS is part of the Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) and works closely with the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School. The CIS is also the World Health Organization's Collaborating Center for Integration Science and Service Delivery. It further serves as one of two co-secretariats for the 22-country NCDI Poverty Network, as well as its strategic initiative, the global PEN-Plus Partnership.

To accomplish its ambitious mission, the CIS provides technical, policy, advocacy, and financing support for national NCDI Poverty Commissions in Network countries as they progress through a four-phase theory of change. This theory of change starts with situation analysis and ultimately leads to the implementation of PEN-Plus at a national scale.
