Company Details
The Bhekisisa Centre for Health Journalism specialises in health and social justice reporting, producing solutions-orientated narrative features, podcasts, videos and analysis from across Africa. Its high-quality journalism — distributed across digital and print platforms — reaches policymakers, academics, activists and political leaders often resulting in shifts in policy, national agenda-setting and redefining conversations. Trained in evidence-based journalism, the centre’s reporters and editors use peer-reviewed studies and reliable statistics to support the narratives in their stories. The centre works with leading researchers and policymakers to produce opinion pieces that translate the latest science and thinking around key health issues for large audiences. The centre also conducts trainings for health and science organisations looking to help staff better profile their work. Bhekisisa also regularly hosts and organises public discussion forums on subjects such as South Africa’s National Health Insurance scheme, tuberculosis and the decriminalisation of sex work. It also works to improve health reporting in South Africa and beyond via training for working journalists and effective media communication for policymakers.
