84% of South Africans depend on the public health system for their medical care.
South Africa's public health system is remarkably understaffed according to the World Health Organisation.
Our patients, who have nowhere else to turn, can end up paying the price in waiting times and medical complications.
Widespread budget constraints in the public health system left 600+ South African doctors unemployed in 2024.
The public hospitals and clinics that need staff cannot afford to employ them.
Healthcare workers are leaving the country in search of work abroad, and those who stay behind have to seek employment in the private sector to earn a living.

We provide private and corporate donors a way of investing in a healthier South Africa.
We use your donations to employ locum healthcare workers to work in the understaffed public facilities that need them - benefiting our patients and benefiting South Africa.
