ABOUT US

THE BAYLOR COLLEGE OF MEDICINE CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION

The Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation- Lesotho (BCMCFL) was formed in 2005 as a non-governmental organization resulting from a public-private partnership between the Baylor College of Medicine International Paediatrics AIDS Initiative (BIPAI) in Houston, Texas, USA and the Lesotho Ministry of Health.

BCMCFL operates the Baylor College of Medicine – Bristol Myers Squibb Children’s Clinical Center of Excellence (COE) in the capital, Maseru, and 5 Baylor College of Medicine/Texas Children’s Hospital/Bristol-Myers Squibb Satellite Centers of Excellence (SCOEs) in Botha-Bothe, Leribe, Mohale’s Hoek, Mokhotlong, and Qacha’s Nek districts. The SCOEs particularly help decentralize paediatric HIV health care to areas outside the capital.
