ELMA supports the care and prevention of child and adolescent diseases, child nutrition, and healthy child development, including assistance to children with disabilities and to those who have been orphaned or maltreated. Another focus area is helping to raise the standard of care and training across Africa, in recognition of the undermining effect of the ‘brain drain’ phenomenon among health workers. Priority areas encompass:
Childhood infectious diseases (especially comprehensive care for children, families, and caregivers affected by HIV/AIDS)
Nutritional well-being (complementing ELMA’s education programming efforts)
Healthy child development, including improving quality of life for children and youth with physical or mental disabilities
