We are a self-sustaining social enterprise that provides quality low-cost treatments  needed by African people in a sustainable way.

​We contribute to SDG3.8 to improve access to affordable quality medicines and vaccines.

---

​​We fill a specific neglected gap that exists outside donor priorities

---

• Treatments for health problems not supported by donors remain  too costly for governments to buy and create treatment programmes in countries.
• When medicines are not available in the public sector, most people pay for medicines  out of pocket and pay even higher prices in the private sector. 
• Expensive medicines push millions of people deeper into poverty. Millions more go without treatment and may need even more expensive interventions and  lose economic productivity.​​​

What we do

We correct the anomaly that outside of donor-supported areas such as chronic illness, most medicines used within countries are purchased by governments quite inefficiently at very high cost.  We consolidate demand using a proven approach that is self-sustaining, create savings in the short-term and strengthens procurement infrastructure in the long-term. 

We do the following;

• Improve selection and use of cost effective treatments.
• Pool country needs to increase volumes.​
• Buy  quality medicines cost-effectively.​
• Support improvements to procurement and supply chain infrastructure.

Our founding principles

---

1. Collaborate with countries and partners to strengthen existing procurement infrastructure, not replace it. ​​
2. Reduce existing procurement and supply chain inefficiencies, not add to them.​
3. Address gaps with solutions that are sustainable to catalyse investment in improving the resilience of national systems.
4. Create economies of scale to reduce cost whilst assuring quality.​
5. Achieve clear measurable results such as the number of people treated and lives saved, and evaluate impact.​
6. Operate in an ethical, socially responsible, accountable and independent manner.
