Basic primary health care for all

SolidarMed's vision is to provide all people in southern and eastern Africa with access to good health care.

Solidarity and partnership are at the heart of all of our activities. We strive for social balance and promote self-determined development. SolidarMed behaves fairly, transparently and respectfully towards the local population, donors, partners and its employees. Professional competence, experience, trust and credibility form the basis of our work.

What we stand for

Eight countries - one team

We have over 150 people working in seven countries in southern Africa as well as in Hyderabad, India, to improve health care for local communities. SolidarMed strengthens health systems and so contributes to the sustainable development goals.

The activities in Hyderabad, Kenya, Mozambique, Lesotho, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe are supported by a team in Lucerne.

History

SolidarMed has always been a child of its time. The first annual reports show our origins as a Catholic organisation in the 1920s. Since then, SolidarMed has undergone many transformations into the modern non-governmental organisation it is today. What has remained unchanged is our commitment to solidarity.
