Health Aid Plus is an organisation that sends volunteers to Africa to help provide access to health for the rural poor.
Focus
Health Aid Plus works with volunteers, such as medical doctors, to provide access to much needed health care for the rural poor in African countries, such as Zambia and Tanzania. There is for example a remarkably low number of doctors in Tanzania, only two for every 100,000 people.
In Zambia, there is only one doctor for every 10,000 people. Health Aid Plus forms part of the Zambia UK Health Workforce Alliance to fill this gap and provide health staff to rural clinics in Zambia.
Health Aid Plus is a member of the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health (PMNCH).
