Websites and Social Media

Websites

Each AMPATH site and AMPATH Global have websites that follow established branding.

• First person writing is acceptable for website (example: We start with care, then do more.), though news stories and program information should be written in third person (Example: The AMPATH Research Program supports investigators.).
• Local site personnel are encouraged to post news, blogs and updates to their websites as frequently as possible. The AMPATH Global website will share select news from each AMPATH location.
• Websites should be reviewed at least annually to update statistics, service numbers, program changes, etc.

Social Media

Social media provides an inexpensive way to share AMPATH’s message and impact and its use is highly encouraged.

• Each AMPATH location should strive to have just one account for each social media platform that shares news and information from throughout the enterprise. Accounts for departments or specific programs should be discouraged without specific business purpose.
• Please coordinate with AMPATH Consortium office in Indianapolis before establishing new social media accounts.
• Use the AMPATH logo with location for the profile picture. Crop logo to a loose square to ensure that no part of logo is lost.
• Handle names should be AMPATH followed by country/location. For example, AMPATHKenya, AMPATHGhana, AMPATHMéxico. AMPATHNepal. If these names are unavailable, please contact the AMPATH Consortium administrative office to determine next best option.
• Facebook and Twitter cover photos should have extreme horizontal orientation and should be a bright, vibrant photo that reflects the cooperative spirit of AMPATH.
• Instagram photos should be cropped to square orientation prior to posting and link to appropriate AMPATH website should be included in bio.
• Patient privacy is paramount the no patient photos or information should be shared on social media without written permission.
