Who we are

The challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa

Less than half of people in countries in Sub-Saharan Africa get the essential health services they need due to current health systems. They must walk long distances to facilities and face major shortages of health workers, with a forecast gap of 6.1 million by 2030. The result is far too many lost lives… mothers, babies, children and people.

We believe everyone should be able to get the healthcare they need to protect their families and themselves.

Current systems aren’t working for billions of people – simpler, smarter healthcare solutions are needed.

Spirit Health Group is a global organisation working in over 20 countries and has been a major partner to the NHS in the UK for two decades. Spirit Health Foundation was established as an independent, non-profit organisation to bring all Spirit Health’s best-in-class healthtech platforms, services, people, and know-how as in-kind funding to help address the challenges and make health accessible for all.

The only way to address big global health problems is through big collaborations, so we provide our support to other non-profits, social enterprises and governments so we can deliver more together.

Our goal is to enable 30 million people in underserved communities to get the essential healthcare they need by 2030

After launching at the end of 2023, we’re already supporting communities in Southern Africa to get the healthcare they need, and have big initial goals.

Everything we do is closely aligned to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3 ‘Good Health and Wellbeing for All’, and we rigorously monitor outcomes and outputs for every initiative we deploy with partners.
