In 2022, Build Health International began to construct the Maternal Center of Excellence (MCOE) in Sierra Leone.

Four years later, that vision is changing lives. Since opening, the MCOE has supported the delivery of more than 2,400 babies, expanding access to safe, dignified maternal and neonatal care.
What began as a construction site is now a place where mothers receive critical care and families welcome new beginnings. We’re proud to see the lasting impact of healthcare infrastructure designed and built to serve communities for generations.

When high-quality medical equipment is no longer needed at a hospital (and still has years of life left), where does it go?

By partnering with Boston Children's Hospital and Dental Capacity, Build Health International connects functioning medical equipment with healthcare partners who can put it to use. It’s a practical example of how collaboration can reduce waste and extend the life of medical equipment while supporting sustainable and dignified healthcare.

In our latest podcast episode, Claudia Moccia, David Ugai, Jonathan McCurry, and Melissa Cantarow discuss how this process works and its impact: https://youtu.be/wl7cPln0g4Q

This past weekend, Build Health International was named the recipient of the Philip Freelon Professional Design Award from NOMA for our design of campus expansion with the Institute of Genomics and Global Health (formerly ACEGID) at Redeemer’s University in Ede, Nigeria.

Presented each year, this award recognizes the work of NOMA members whose projects demonstrate thoughtful design and meaningful contributions to the built environment. It celebrates design excellence while recognizing projects that serve communities and strengthen the profession.

This is an incredible distinction and honor, and we are grateful for the support from the design and build community. And many thanks to Kat Kendon for her phenomenal photography!

Happy World Architecture Day! 🏗️🌍

At Build Health International, architecture is about more than designing buildings. It’s about creating healthcare spaces that work for the people who use them.

Every project starts with listening. Our teams work with healthcare providers, communities, and local partners to understand what a facility needs to function well. From there, we design, and sometimes build, spaces that are practical and built to last.

Today, we’re celebrating the architects who turn ideas into spaces that support stronger health systems and more equitable access to care.

High-quality healthcare can only be safely delivered in a dignified healthcare space.

Patients and clinicians alike require access to infrastructure that can support them. That can can look like access to reliable (and even renewable!) electricity, medical oxygen, clean water, and well-maintained medical equipment.

This , we’re highlighting the infrastructure that helps make safer care possible.
