The reach of Dr. Smith and The Smith Infectious Diseases Foundation has expanded from groundbreaking work at St. Michaels to embrace the world.
The Foundation is working in Afghanistan, Uganda, Kenya, and the Sudan, using Blackberry-enabled technology to provide local physicians and healthcare workers with direct and immediate access to worldwide leaders in the field of infectious disease. The Foundation has funded not only primary research to discover unique incentive treatment programs for HIV/AIDS but also education programs aimed at preventing this disease.
Additional support is given to prevent the spread of other globally prevalent diseases such as tuberculosis, influenza, fungal and other viral diseases.
The Foundation has funded ongoing education and mentorship programs for a new generation of infectious disease specialists, and continues to explore new uses of Technology, to bring the best of medical practice
to people who are daily facing illness and death by poverty, violence, and neglect.
