With 25% of the global burden of disease, sub-Saharan Africa languishes with only 3% of the world’s healthcare workers. Attracting and retaining health workers is critical to solving the massive public health issues in this region.
Africa Health Placements (AHP) is a human resources solutions and services organisation that has been changing the face of public health in southern Africa, creating new outcomes for healthcare facilities that might otherwise be defunct by now. We define ourselves as “social profit” because our work, while mostly donor-funded, delivers profit in terms of improved healthcare and social indicators.
