Where we work

Expanding our scalable model

Common for all countries we operate in is the engagement of men and women who have already received training as Community Health Workers (CHWs). They are introduced to a cost recoverable business model that gives them access to our delivery network and allows them to improve health in their community, while at the same time generating an income. This creates a sustainable incentive to work with basic health care, which is at the core of our operations. All products, training and content is approved by The Ministry of Health in the host country (based on national guidelines).
