Our story so far.

 

AHP started in 2005. Back then, we were a small but determined unit with a dream as simple as it was challenging: to recruit doctors to work in South Africa’s drastically understaffed rural hospitals.

 

Since then the team has grown and our focus has evolved. From recruiting 10 British doctors in our first year, we now place hundreds of local and international doctors annually – more than 4,100 in total – matching a diversity of skills and interests to local needs. These inspired and inspiring doctors have conducted more than 34-million consultations in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities.

 

We have also transformed our client packages to offer doctors end-to-end global health experiences. From comprehensive orientation programmes and professional support to a range of endorsed in-service learning opportunities, AHP’s packages offer you the opportunity to earn a salary while catapulting your career in global health.

 

Our organisation has grown and our target area has expanded beyond South Africa’s borders, but our mission remains the same: to understand where doctors are needed and get them there, while making their experiences as significant and rewarding as they can be.

 

 

The Challenge.

 

Every year healthcare delivery advances in leaps and bounds. There is a lot of focus on getting the building blocks of better health systems – such as pharmaceutical distribution and hospital infrastructure – into place around the world.

 

But without people on the ground to deliver care, this counts for very little. In poorer countries a shortage of doctors means crucial skills and knowledge never reach those most in need, with devastating consequences.

 

 

Be the solution.

 

AHP deploy your skills to improve the health of the underserved.

 

We believe that pragmatic solutions to the global healthcare crisis start with listening.

 

For us, this means listening to the needs of our region’s most vulnerable people as well as to the needs of doctors who want to serve them.

 

Since 2005, AHP has built up a broad and detailed knowledge base, giving us a good picture of where the problems are and what the most practical ways are to solve them.

 

 

Putting the right person in the right place.

 

AHP has the bureaucratic know-how to get you registered as quickly as possible (and with the least amount of effort on your part).

 

We also have the local understanding and strategic relationships to place you in the facilities where you can gain and give the most – matching your skills and interests to local needs.

 

Our minimum one-year placements give you enough time to understand the needs of your setting, and to deliver on them.
