About this organization
Mission
Amref Health Africa's mission is to improve the health of people in Africa by partnering with and empowering communities, and strengthening health systems. Our vision is lasting health change.

About
Health, training, education and primary care - Amref supports reproductive health and rights for women through ensuring access to effective contraceptives, skilled obstetric services, assisted delivery, ante-natal and post-natal care and care of newborns. Reproductive health also includes the prevention and diagnosis of cervical cancer among disadvantaged women. Through the implementation of integrated management of childhood illnesses, Amref supports a holistic approach to disease management where the overall health of the child is considered, addressing all causes of childhood illness. As an integral component of good health, innovative interventions to improve nutrition and promote breast feeding are also included in Amref's approach to reduce morbidity and mortality among children. Amref also incorporates a holistic approach to managing disease, as any treatment must be accompanied by education programs to prevent the spread of disease, measures to ensure that patients follow treatment plans and adequate health staff to diagnose disease and administer and monitor treatment, particularly in remote areas. Amref seeks to increase access to sustainable, safe and adequate water, appropriate sanitation and hygiene practices. Amref's goal is to reduce prevalence of WASH-related diseases such as dysentery, cholera, trachoma and typhoid.
