Our Patients

84% of South Africans rely on the public health system for care.

Yet, according to the World Health Organization, this system is critically understaffed.

For patients with nowhere else to turn, this often means long waits and avoidable medical complications.

Budget constraints in the public health sector have left many South African doctors and allied health workers unemployed.

Hospitals and clinics that urgently need staff simply can’t afford to hire them.

As a result, healthcare workers are either leaving the country or turning to the private sector to make a living.

Sponsor Medic is a non-profit platform that strengthens South Africa’s public health system.

We connect private and corporate donors with a powerful cause: funding locum healthcare workers for understaffed public clinics and hospitals.

Every donation helps patients and helps build a healthier South Africa.
