Mission
The academic health care centers that make up AMPATH are uniquely situated to pursue a tripartite mission of care, training, and research-three components that are essential to address the challenges of global health. While training and research are critically important, AMPATH’s motto has always been to “lead with care” where the focus is on the patient, not the disease. If a patient is hungry, or without a job, or is the victim of discrimination or abuse, AMPATH will address the security and health of the whole person.
