Dr. Sanseau recently answered a few questions about her training, her interest in global health, and her experience as a fellow at CHOP.

Dr. Strysko spent three years full-time in Botswana as a CHOP David N. Pincus Global Health Fellow.

Beginning in January 2023, neonatal nurses from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) will travel to Botswana to help train Botswana nurses in neonatology to improve the health of the country’s smallest citizens.

The CHOP Global Health Center, in collaboration with the Penn Center for Global Health, Penn Nursing, Temple University, and St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, hosted, "Making Up for Lost Time: Addressing Children's Needs Post-Pandemic." The conference brought together global child health experts in person for the first time in two years. 

CHOP researchers have discovered a heat-shock protein that requires the addition of a lipid particle to function, providing a roadmap for new antimalarial drugs.

CHOP recognizes female Global Health leaders battling COVID-19 in the United States, Dominican Republic and Botswana.

CHOP Global Health fellow studies depression, anxiety and drug/alcohol abuse in youth with or at-risk of HIV in Botswana.

CHOP leverages its expertise to improve the lives of the most vulnerable children in Philadelphia and around the world through its Healthier Together initiative and Global Health Center.

Now an attending at the Children's Hospital of Orange County in California, Dr. Casilang credits CHOP's Global Health Fellowship Program with improving her clinical and research skills.

“Whether it’s in the home or the clinic, the United States or abroad, nurses are the masters of care coordination,” says Dr. Irving. “They ensure the best possible care is provided to patients and families according to their situations.”
