About Us
Driven by Collaboration,
Focused on Health Transformation
A Collaborative anchored in Africa
The Africa Health Collaborative (Health Collaborative) is a multistakeholder partnership working towards transforming Africa’s Primary Health Care (PHC) systems. It is made up of 9 higher education institutions and the Mastercard Foundation.
The shared vision of the Health Collaborative is to prepare diverse youth for the meaningful work of transforming health and well-being in Africa, through contextually appropriate and sustainable primary healthcare systems.
The Africa Health Collaborative features a networked approach that allows the partners to reach across borders and sectoral divisions to collectively address health sector challenges in the African context. We leverage the power of institutions as sites of knowledge exchange, community collaboration, and nexuses for cross-sector partnerships.
Our Value of Partnership
Together, through core partners and strategic alliances of ecosystem partners (corporations, government ministries, industry, NGOs, and healthcare providers), we amplify our potential and transform healthcare landscapes.
Goals and Methods
Born from a commitment to fostering inclusive, sustainable, and impactful health-focused initiatives, the Health Collaborative represents a fusion of bright minds and leading institutions.

We champion local, indigenous solutions to confronting Africa’s primary health care and global health challenges. Our vision is bold, our programs are diverse but united to foster transformative change in health systems in Africa.
