We challenge the notion that exclusion from essential healthcare is an inevitable consequence of living in poorer countries and identify the opportunities and partners – both private and public, needed to bring about holistic transformation in failing health markets.
Our approach
PharmAccess focuses on the root causes that hamper health care financing and investments towards equitable and quality health care in sub-Saharan Africa. Working as an innovator and catalyst for pragmatic solutions that can be adopted, adapted, and scaled by partners.
The PharmAccess integrated approach addresses both the demand and supply side of the health care system and uses the opportunities that mobile technology and data provide to leapfrog development in health markets in sub-Saharan Africa. With the aim to inspire viable and resilient health markets that provide access to care for millions of people in Africa.
Through public-private partnerships, PharmAccess focusses on; promoting basic health insurance plans and other innovative demand-side financing options to protect people from financial hardship; introducing quality standards and improvement methodologies for health care providers to increase transparency and stimulate efficiencies; facilitating and stimulating loans, business support, and investments for private health care providers, and innovating value-based health care solutions and financing, using data to empower health care consumers, patients, doctors and financiers alike.
PharmAccess is not alone in achieving this task. Partnerships are key. Through independent research, PharmAccess provides vital learnings and evidence to advocate replication and scaling by public-private partners. Learn more about our approach.
