Description
Strong, efficient health care is the basis for realizing the human right to the "highest attainable level of physical and mental health", as formulated by the United Nations in 1966 in the social pact. Health is a global development goal – everyone should have access to adequate, comprehensive health care that is affordable for all sections of the population. However, in most developing and emerging countries, the majority of people still do not have adequate access to adequate health care.
The African German Health Association e. V. emerged in 2020 from an initiative by companies to make a contribution and to strengthen the health systems in Africa in a sustainable manner together with local actors. The association works project-oriented in order to set new impulses in the digital and analogue infrastructure in African partner countries with a focus on long-term success. To this end, all activities are designed in accordance with the UN Global Compact and the UN Sustainability Development Goals.
