About PharmAccess
PharmAccess is committed to breaking the cycle of inequity in healthcare across sub-Saharan Africa, where poor systems, lack of trust, and limited access to financing prevent progress toward Universal Healthcare Coverage (UHC).
Since 2001, PharmAccess has worked to foster a virtuous cycle of trust between public and private health sector players, boosting resources and improving service delivery. By leveraging digital technologies and data-driven solutions, PharmAccess aims to put patients at the centre of healthcare, improving access, quality, and affordability.
Our approach is to spark transformative health systems innovations that can be replicated and adopted by others, focusing on connecting patients and care professionals to financial protection and better quality of care.
