AMPATH Values
Our motto is Leading with Care.
This means caring for the health of the population is our first priority, but that care is delivered in a way that supports education and research with the overall effort focused on building a sustainable healthcare system. Review each value below to learn more about how we Lead with Care.
Integrity: We work with honesty and trustworthiness, using open and kind communication.
Service with humility: We put aside pride and selfish ambition, knowing that we only succeed when everyone succeeds and that we need diverse perspectives and voices to achieve the best solutions.
Mutual trust, respect, and benefit: We’re only satisfied with solutions that benefit all parties and those that are obtained with respect and dignity for all.
Commitment to the tripartite academic mission: care, training, research: To achieve our goal of health for all, we need to acquire new knowledge, disseminate it through quality educational programs and training, and use it to provide excellent care and care delivery systems.
Sustainable health development: We commit to longitudinal relationships and patterns of work that can be sustained over time.
Accountability to the health of a population: We measure success by the health of the populations in which we work.
Our hope? That one day all people, no matter where they live and what socioeconomic challenges they face, will have the health care they need and the resources to thrive in life.
