Who we are
SGHI is an ecosystem builder leveraging data
and digital innovations to drive implementation support, market insights and health systems reforms towards UHC.
Why Now
African and global health care systems are navigating a "Triple Transition" characterised by shifting epidemiological burdens (from infectious to non-communicable diseases), financial transitions (from donor reliance to self-sustaining financing), and accelerated movement toward universal health coverage (UHC).
"Millions of Africans lack access to quality, affordable healthcare. By strengthening healthcare systems undergoing the triple transition, we will be able to change and impact the lives
of our fellow Africans in the next decade".
Dr. Justus Paul Kilonzi
President, SGHI
