ISQua's Networks

Communities of Practice

ISQua's commitment to supporting specific activities to strengthen engagement with professionals in low and middle-income counties has lead to the development of our regional Communities of Practice.


To date we have two active communities, the African Community of Practice and the Latin American Community of Practice.


The groups meet online on a regular basis to exchange information and share their experiences on issues that are specific to their own regions.

Emerging Leaders

The aim of this programme is to identify, develop and support emerging health care leaders from low and middle-income countries through the ISQua network. The Emerging Leaders Programme helps each participant to take what they have learned and use it to help implement projects in their home country. Strategically placed leaders have the capacity to transfer knowledge, ideas and skills to those groups they are in a position to influence.
