From Angelina Cumba and Olivier Defawe / Devex: VillageReach transforms health care delivery so that each person has the health care needed to thrive. VillageReach focuses on building responsive systems that provide health care services when and where they are needed. These systems adapt to changes in demand even during shocks and stresses and routinely factor and respond to the needs and preferences of people. As a locally driven and globally connected organization working across Africa, VillageReach’s primary goal is to reduce inequities in access to quality primary health care for 350 million people by 2030.
