Amref Health Africa - South Africa

Amref Health Africa is Africa's leading health charity and one of the leading healthcare development agencies on the continent. Working primarily with women and girls, our vision is of lasting health change within Africa's most vulnerable and remote communities. Headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, we are a truly African organisation, which combines grass roots development with government partnerships. This ethos defines our community-based approach and echoes across each and every one of the projects and programmes we deliver. 

Amref Health Africa responds to South Africa’s health challenges by finding innovative solutions to build the capacity of community and national health systems to diagnose, treat, and control diseases through infrastructure improvements, health workforce training, and strengthening information and monitoring systems. Amref Health Africa also emphasizes the integration of health services, social and economic empowerment of women, and a rights-based approach to health.
