Pharm Access Africa Limited was set up in 2001, to increase access to healthcare to the people of Africa.  In sub-Saharan Africa only a limited number of people can access health care. When Pharm Access Africa Limited was incorporated, per capita spend on health care was close to US$29. Through various initiatives, this number has gradually risen, yet access to affordable health care still remains a problem.

According to UNAIDS figures released in 2017, of the total 36.9 million worldwide living with HIV/AIDS, close to 22.4 million (66%) of those infected living in Eastern and Southern Africa. Sub-Saharan Africa is home to less than 10 per cent of the world’s population.

PAAL provides technical assistance to a number of public and private sector programs, linking these initiatives to major donor organizations in order to provide care, support and sustainability.

We facilitate and strengthen mechanisms for all parties involved, working collaboratively at national and international levels in the area of reproductive health, HIV/AIDS and non communicable diseases. Over the years, partnerships have spurned with the national AIDS control programs, community groups,  civil societies, faith based organizations, development partners and international donors including among others, the World Bank and The Global Fund for AIDS, TB and malaria.
