The women of Africa
They are the common thread, weaving the continent together. Binding families and communities to one another.
The World Health Organization describes this crisis as
"Africa's silent epidemic"
the tragedy that millions of mothers, newborn babies, and children die every year from preventable, treatable diseases.
Contributing to the epidemic is a debilitating shortage of medical equipment, trained staff, and access to proper medical facilities, health education and care.
With your help, Philips Healthcare
will address the issues surrounding maternal and child health and will tackle the
burden of non-communicable diseases.
Integral to this is the transformation of healthcare infrastructure, the development
of innovative technology solutions, and the building and sustaining of human capacity.
From birth to adolescence to motherhood and beyond,
we will collaborate locally to bring innovative healthcare solutions to the women of Africa.
A fabric is only as strong as the threads used to create it.
Philips Healthcare aims to be the loom that binds these threads into a tough and enduring fabric for life.
Do you share our common goal?
Our mission is to team with governments, NGOs and the private sector to address the toughest health concerns and clinical challenges facing the African Continent today.
