Who we are

 

Business for Health Solutions is a non-profit organization that applies an innovative private-sector approach to increase healthcare access in Africa by building the capacity of local healthcare enterprises. We do this by facilitating remote business and technical assistance delivered by teams of international private sector experts through skills-based virtual volunteering
