Health
We contribute to improving health care services and their provision to our surrounding communities.
Healthier lives
Our health and wellness department is a multidisciplinary department focused on providing holistic health and wellness services to our employees and our communities.
We aim to support existing government health systems in the provision of essential public healthcare services.
The public health services undertaken by our team include projects around epidemic preparedness, malaria, water sanitation, child empowerment and STIs. Through these projects we seek to enable healthier lives for everyone we come into contact with.
