Healthcare
Expert project management for innovative healthcare solutions
Rural healthcare in Africa is characterized by significant challenges, including a severe shortage of trained medical professionals, limited access to healthcare facilities, poor infrastructure, geographical isolation, and inadequate funding, resulting in poor health outcomes for a large portion of the African population living in rural areas; this disparity is particularly prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa where most healthcare services are concentrated in urban centers.

Geriatric care
This is a growing concern due to the increasing number of older people in Africa. However, the healthcare systems are often underfunded and unprepared to provide care for older people.
We facilitate training in geriatric care/medicine which is limited to a small number of facilities in urban centres in a few countries.
There is the prevalence of risk factors for chronic diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, infectious diseases especially age and gender discrimination which is a major concern for elderly women in rural areas.
