Organizational Profile
PIVOT (www.pivotworks.org) is a global health care NGO guided by the principle that all people have intrinsic worth and deserve to live healthy and productive lives. As a social justice organization working in a setting of extreme poverty and disease, PIVOT’s core objective is to address social inequity by advancing universal access to quality healthcare, while working within the government health care system to create a model for district health care that can be used across the country of Madagascar. Since 2014, PIVOT has partnered with the government of Madagascar to strengthen the health system and create a model health district in Ifanadiana district, adjacent to Ranomafana National Park and 11 hours from the capital. The district has a catchment area of 200,000 people, more than 75 percent of whom live in extreme poverty. In its initial years, PIVOT had largely focused on the 6 most accessible communes in the district. The primary objective for 2021 is to ensure the expansion of PIVOT programs to all areas of the district regardless of accessibility.
PIVOT collaborates directly with the Madagascar Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) to strengthen a district hospital, 22 health centers, and community health programs. The model is advanced across three major components: 1) facility readiness (e.g. infrastructure, supply chain, personnel), 2 integrated clinical programs (e.g. maternal and child health, malnutrition, tuberculosis), and 3) data systems and research. Currently, PIVOT is a 225-person organization with 7 international staff in Madagascar, and a small support team based in the U.S.
