Growth in spite of a still-recovering economy. Smiles where once there was worry. Perseverance against formidable odds. CMMB performs good works that bring health and healing to people in need around the world, driven by our faith and mission. In reporting to you about our performance in 2010, we can emphatically state that our faith-based work has brought about positive results in countless ways. In our 98th year of service, it has led us to achieve many remarkable things. As a faith-based organization whose mission is inspired by the healing ministry of Jesus, we are guided by a commitment to the belief that health care is a basic human right. Our good works stem from that commitment. Our employees, our partners, our volunteers all embrace and believe in CMMB’s vision of a world where quality healthcare is available to all. Hope rising from the rubble: We saw this daily in Haiti, where CMMB staff put their personal family tragedies aside and were on the scene in minutes after the massive earthquake of January. Their efforts helped tens of thousands to bear the terrible burdens of the disaster and move ahead with their lives. Growth in spite of a still-recovering economy: The effect of our faith-based work received validation in the loyalty of our donors, whose gifts reflect an increase in private giving of 39% over 2009. Smiles where once there was worry: We were able to see this first hand on a Board of Directors trip to Kenya, when we observed CMMB’s HIV/AIDS programs in the Mathare slums of Nairobi. Those smiles were driven by the fact that available treatment gave them hope. Top photo: John Galbraith in Haiti.

Galbraith Michael Doring Connelly President & Chief Executive Officer President & Chief Executive Officer CMMB Catholic Healthcare Partners Chairman, CMMB Board of Directors CMMB 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 3 CMMB Programs Faith WORKSfor 538,764 women and men that were helped via CMMB’s maternal and child health, neglected tropical diseases and HIV/AIDS programs. CMMB staff and partners can be found working faithfully in these programs in Haiti, Honduras, India, Kenya, Peru, South Africa, South Sudan, Uganda, and Zambia. In addition, CMMB’s legacy programs, in operation for nearly a century, provide support for this work through the donation of medicines and medical supplies and the placement of volunteers. Here is what we have been doing: HIV AND AIDS For over a decade, CMMB has been a leader among faith-based organizations in the field of HIV/AIDS care, treatment, and support. Through our work as part of the U.S. government-funded AIDSRelief consortium, we provided life-saving antiretroviral treatment to nearly 47,000 Kenyans in 2010, and ensured continuity of care for the HIV-affected pediatric population in Haiti. This year in Kenya, South Sudan, and Haiti, CMMB’s mentors helped more than 24,000 people living with HIV/AIDS adhere to their medical treatment and combat stigma within their families and communities. CMMB strives to provide innovative programs to prevent HIV infection across all age groups and Directions at a rural clinic genders. We significantly reduced pediatric HIV infections in 2010 by providing HIV testing in Kisumu, Kenya. and services to prevent the transmission of HIV from pregnant mothers to their unborn and newborn children to nearly 60,000 women in Haiti, Kenya, and South Sudan. We seek to engage men in the promotion of healthy behaviors, such as reducing their number of sexual partners, living positively, and participating in their family’s healthcare. Bolstered by strong support from the Ministries of Health in Kenya, Uganda, and Zambia, CMMB trained medical professionals to perform more than 15,000 safe male circumcisions, which have been shown to reduce the risk of HIV infection. For over a decade, CMMB has been a leader among faith-based organizations in the field of HIV/AIDS care, treatment, and support. MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH CMMB embraces the research that demonstrates that women are the key to sustaining healthy families and achieving positive health outcomes. We work with local partners to provide a woman- and girl-centered approach to health, with men as key supporters and advocates. Our primary healthcare programs provide families with services such as health education for expectant mothers and the CMMB volunteer Cathleen Daly measures a child as she works with our Unidos Contra la Mortalidad Infantil program in Chimbote, Peru. 4 CMMB 2010 ANNUAL REPORT A mother and her child in Trujillo, Peru receive help. provision of oral rehydration solution and vitamin A serum. In 2010, com- munity health workers made more than 18,000 home visits to families participating in these programs. In South Africa, we addressed food scarcity and nutrition among orphans and vulnerable children by providing meals and after-school care to 300 children. CMMB’s malaria prevention programs promote the use of insecticide-treated nets, train healthcare workers, and supply medicines to reduce disease and death from malaria, especially in pregnant women and young children. This year, CMMB provided anti-malarial medication to nearly 7,000 expectant mothers to reduce the risk of a complicated pregnancy, low birth-weight, and anemia in their children. Women are the key to sustaining healthy families and achieving positive health outcomes. NEGLECTED TROPICAL DISEASES AND OTHER COUNTRY-SPECIFIC PRIORITIES CMMB’s founder, Dr. Paluel Flagg, began his work ministering to those suffering from leprosy. CMMB’s commitment to the treatment of neglected tropical Early in its history, CMMB ministered to lepers. diseases began then, nearly 100 years ago. Since 2008, CMMB has been working in high-prevalence leprosy areas in India and Zambia, strengthening the capacity of local health facilities to diagnose, treat, and care for leprosy patients. In 2010, CMMB assisted in the training of nearly 500 community health workers and healthcare professionals. In Haiti, CMMB has resumed pre-earthquake initiatives and introduced new programs aimed at the long-term recovery of Haitians affected by the disaster. An important area of focus for CMMB is physical rehabilitation for amputees. CMMB is a founding member of the Haitian Amputee Coalition, which has helped more than 700 people who have lost their limbs receive prostheses and physical therapy, renewing their hope for a better life. CMMB has also been working to reduce the impact of the cholera epidemic by providing oral rehydration solution and antibiotics to support our programs and training community health workers expressly to work on cholera prevention and treatment. CMMB’s commitment to the treatment of neglected tropical diseases began nearly 100 years ago. CMMB 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 5 CMMB Programs (continued) HEALTH SYSTEMS STRENGTHENING CMMB’s work is guided by international health realities. As we focus on HIV/AIDS, malaria, maternal and child health, neglected tropical disease, and other country-specific priorities, our objective is to develop sustainable local capacity to address major healthcare needs and build strong systems. We are always asking ourselves: “Will this activity be sustainable without CMMB?” We accomplish this through the design and implementation of high-quality, evidence-based programs, directed by the following six goals: 1. INCREASE ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES THAT IMPROVE QUALITY OF LIFE AND REDUCE PREVENTABLE DEATHS. In 2010, CMMB counseled and tested 119,087 individuals for HIV, reached 146,915 with HIV prevention messages, provided preventative antiretroviral treatment to 3,725 expectant mothers, and cared for 110,362 people living with HIV/AIDS.
