About the Organization

Amref Health Africa (formerly the African Medical and Research Foundation – AMREF), was founded in 1957, by three surgeons as the Flying Doctors Service of East Africa.
Amref Health Africa’s vision is of lasting health change in Africa: communities with the knowledge, skills and means to maintain their good health and break the cycle of poor health and poverty. Amref Health Africa focuses on long-term change as opposed to short-term, emergency solutions and believe in the inherent power that lies within African communities, and in particular the power for lasting transformation of the continent’s health.
Amref Health Africa is operating in different African countries including Ethiopia.
