Headquartered in Nairobi, Amref Health Africa works in 35 countries to improve access to healthcare and to help create an environment that is conducive to good health. Amrefโs programmes focus on: child health and nutrition; communicable and non-communicable diseases; health financing; maternal, newborn health; neglected tropical diseases; sexual and reproductive health and rights; and water and sanitation and hygiene. Our programmes align with our Global Strategy objectives: to increase primary healthcare access for all, and to address the social determinants of health. These are the factors that influence peopleโs health, from their access to education, to their gender, and their exposure to the impacts of climate change.
