PharmAccess is a young, fast-growing, international, not-for-profit organization of Dutch origin, which aims to improve access to affordable quality basic health care in Africa. PharmAccess strives to fulfill this mission through public-private partnerships with local organizations and through an output based approach.

PharmAccess supports programs and offers services in several areas, such as providing health insurance for low-income groups, quality improvement and assurance of clinics and hospitals, financing of small and medium sized healthcare enterprises and support of corporate and national healthcare programs.

PharmAccess was founded in 2001, and is currently active in more than 10 African countries. Its main office resides in Amsterdam.

The activities of PharmAccess are made possible by funding of donors and clients, such as the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, The World Bank, United States Agency for International Development (USAID), large multinationals and the Rockefeller Foundation.
