Health for Africa, Powered by People
AHP has unfortunately closed down but I now work for Pro Talent and we are continuing with this offer. Pro Talent offers qualified doctors endorsed global health experiences benefitting Africa's most vulnerable people. We envision a world in which the skills of doctors are available to those who need them most. That’s why we’re on a mission to place and support doctors who want to serve in resource-poor environments while simultaneously growing personally and professionally.
AHP started in 2005. Back then, we were a small but determined unit with a dream as simple as it was challenging: to recruit doctors to work in South Africa’s drastically understaffed rural hospitals. Since then the team has grown and our focus has evolved. From recruiting 10 British doctors in our first year, we now place hundreds of local and international doctors annually – more than 4,100 in total – matching a diversity of skills and interests to local needs. These inspired and inspiring doctors have conducted more than 34-million consultations in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities.
We have also transformed our client offering, giving doctors end-to-end global health experiences. From comprehensive orientation programmes and professional support to a range of endorsed in-service learning opportunities, an AHP placement is an opportunity to earn a salary while catapulting your career in global health.
Our organisation has grown and our target area has expanded beyond South Africa’s borders, but our mission remains the same: to understand where doctors are needed and get them there, while making their experiences as significant and rewarding as they can be.
