Overview

There is a sizable and increasing number of people with chronic diseases, both communicable and noncommunicable, in South Africa. Over the years, our programs have strengthened health care professionals’ leadership and management skills and supported local and regional health leaders to respond more effectively and sustainably to HIV and AIDS, TB, and other infectious diseases. To improve patient care and support more effective pharmaceutical service delivery, we have helped to strengthen pharmacists’ leadership and management skills and introduced an electronic information system to manage inventory and purchase orders and dispense medicines.
