Nat Segaren

AC member

Nathaniel Segaren currently leads the Haiti National Programme for Caris Foundation International, which tests and treats babies born to mothers with HIV. Supported by USAID, the programme serves over 200 hospitals and clinics in Haiti.

While studying medicine, Nat developed an interest in community health services and public health. After working as a paediatrician in London, he applied for a Fulbright Award which enabled him to pursue an MPH/MBA at Johns Hopkins University. During his 18 months in the U.S., Nat learned about the quantification of health issues and evaluating large-scale interventions. He became particularly fascinated by the financial aspects of healthcare delivery, especially in low-resource settings.

A travel grant from Johns Hopkins took him to Haiti to research a project on infant HIV detection and treatment which grew into a full-time role after graduation. The Fulbright Award provided Nat with invaluable skills, ultimately shaping his career and changing his life.
