This summer, Michelle is interning with the Touch Foundation, a secular non-profit organization committed to improving the health of the Tanzanian people by strengthening their health system across the different levels of care, from tertiary hospital down to village-level facilities. The Touch Foundation has created an integrated healthcare and education network in the Lake Zone of Tanzania that supports the education of health professionals and improves resource-sharing across facilities at the different levels of the system, promoting efficiency in a resource-constrained setting. As an intern, Michelle supports program development and design, program implementation, operations, monitoring and reporting.
