Partnership Models

Four ways to work together

We tailor every partnership to what the partner brings and what our students need. These are the four frameworks most institutions start with.

🎓 Universities & Medical Schools

Academic Exchange

Joint curriculum development, faculty secondments, and accreditation partnerships. We offer something no campus in the developed world can — a live clinical environment where healthcare workforce shortages are real and immediate.

  • Curriculum co-development aligned with WHO competency frameworks
  • Faculty exchange programs for visiting lecturers and researchers
  • Joint degree pathway design (Diploma → Bachelor's bridge)
  • Accreditation support and institutional quality reviews
🏥 Medical Schools & Teaching Hospitals

Clinical Placements

International nursing, midwifery, and clinical medicine students seeking global clinical rotations can embed with our cohorts at Gudele General Hospital and affiliated facilities. Fully supervised, culturally immersive.

  • International clinical rotations (4–12 weeks)
  • Supervised placements at Gudele General Hospital
  • Skills lab access — BLS, sterile technique, clinical assessment
  • Dual-cohort learning (international + South Sudanese students)
🔬 Research Institutions & NGOs

Research Collaboration

Joint studies on maternal health outcomes, infectious disease, community health worker effectiveness, and healthcare training impact in conflict-affected and low-resource settings. We have data and access no external team can easily replicate.

  • Maternal and newborn health outcomes research
  • Healthcare workforce development studies
  • Public health data collection and analysis
  • Publication co-authorship and research ethics support
💰 Donors, Foundations & Funders

Funding & Grants

Equipment grants, scholarship funds, infrastructure investment, and operational funding. 100% of student fees and donor funds are reinvested into training capacity. Full financial reporting and impact documentation provided to all funders.

  • Scholarship funds directly supporting student intake
  • Equipment and infrastructure grants (labs, simulation tools)
  • Institutional capacity building grants
  • Fully auditable donor transparency reporting
First-Mover Advantage

Why St. Mary's now?

South Sudan has one of the worst healthcare worker-to-population ratios on earth — fewer than 600 doctors for 12 million people. St. Mary's HSTIJ is the institution that has been building the solution since 2010. Here's why partners choose us.

We don't pitch potential. We show results — documented, auditable, and verifiable.
