Dr. Paula Brentlinger is a family physician with experience in the integration of primary care and infectious-disease control in Central America and sub-Saharan Africa. Dr. Brentlinger has worked with the Mozambican Ministry of Health (MOH) and I-TECH colleagues to develop new integrated guidelines for care of common signs and symptoms among HIV-infected patients in Mozambique. The MOH subsequently assumed leadership of this process, which resulted in dissemination of new national guidelines in 2009. In 2009 and 2010, Dr. Crozier led a similar initiative in Uganda. Both projects were conducted under the auspices of I-TECH (and/or IDCAP) in close collaboration with national MOHs and other partners.

Dr. Ian Crozier is an infectious disease
specialist. He is currently based in Kampala, Uganda, where he is developing
and leading a three-week Integrated Management of Infectious Diseases course
for the Integrated Infectious Disease Capacity-Building Evaluation
(IDCAP).  In 2009 and 2010, Ian led an
integrated guideline initiative in Uganda that built on Paula’s work in
Mozambique.  IDCAP is funded by a grant to
the Accordia Global Health Foundation from the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation.
