High quality healthcare for all.
How It Works
Amani is one of a number of elite organizations driving a revolution in primary health care: transforming Community Health Workers (CHWs) into bona fide health professionals. Amani’s specialty is working in settings too challenging for anyone else. Amani built the first primary health system on an island in the DRC and has expanded onto the mainland.
The Dream
The world’s toughest places get high-quality primary care through government-backed CHWS.
Why We're In
Mostly because of Jacques Sebisaho, the founder. He is an MD from the island, and managed to build an excellent hospital while war was raging on the mainland. He then took on primary care by synthesizing the best of all the other Mulago CHW models and tailoring his model to DRC’s context. He managed to cover the island’s population of 400K people in a remarkably short time. If it’s working in the DRC, it can work anywhere.
