The people, processes, supplies, and institutions required to deliver health care services to those who need them.

Throughout West Africa, we develop people-centric and data-driven, technological solutions to improve health delivery systems for vulnerable communities.

Our goal is to improve the quality and availability of healthcare for underserved populations, primarily through data management and logistics support to enable better decision-making.

We bring fresh ideas to routine immunization with integrated research, communications, design, and delivery which has improved the quality and availability of information, supplies and services to the last mile.

Our objectives:

  • Increase public primary healthcare facilities that meet national or international standards for maternal and child health.

  • Improve supply chains for vital health commodities.

  • Increase access to high-quality eLearning resources for healthcare workers to achieve proficiency in healthcare delivery, management, and leadership.
