Dr. Natella Rakhmanina began her global outreach with a few smaller pediatric and maternal HIV projects in Russia. She was then contacted by the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF), and offered to collaborate on further projects in Siberia. Travelling back to Russia in 2013, 2014, and 2015, Dr. Rakhmanina “developed a wonderful relationship with providers there,” resulting in their collaboration to develop the first national textbook on pediatric and maternal HIV written in Russian. In 2014, as her relationship with the organization grew, she became a senior technical advisor at EGPAF in addition to her clinical responsibilities at Children’s National. This duality enables Dr. Rakhmanina to fulfill both her passion for clinical care and her interest in global pediatric HIV research.
