Ellie is the founder of Namati’s work in Mozambique and co-director of Namati’s right to health program. Namati’s health advocates walk alongside communities and frontline health workers to overcome the social and structural barriers that undermine human dignity and access to care. Since 2013 we have helped to resolve over 37,000 health service-related grievances. We partner with government, drawing on our grassroots learning to strengthen the health system at national level.
Prior to moving to Mozambique 15 years ago, Ellie worked with Partners in Health in Neno, Malawi, where she was Director of the Program on Social and Economic Rights. She launched the Clinton Foundation’s pediatric HIV program in Malawi and worked in rural Ghana with the Population Council and Ghana Health Service to scale up the national Community-Based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) initiative. Ellie holds a MSc from the Harvard School of Public Health and a BA from Northwestern University.
