Our ability to deliver results and maintain low-cost patient care is made possible through cross-sector initiatives, which combined the resources of multiple public and private organizations.

Our work in South Africa has benefited tremendously from input on many fronts, particularly from Archbishop Mthethwa, President Jacob Zuma, and Mrs NP Nkonyeni (KZN Provisional Treasurer, Speaker, and former KZN MEC for Health), affectionately known to all, as Peggy.

In addition to his several responsibilities serving on regional and national government committees and agencies, Archbishop Mthethwa is the global head of the St. John's Apostolic Church, a denomination of more than 11 million. We are pleased to have the Archbishop and Jacob Zuma's son, Duduzane Zuma, as senior members of CharisHealth team.

Our international team of scientific, medical, religious, community and business advisors, provides direction and guidance in the critical assessment and application of our Healthcare and Social Welfare systems that are currently being deployed across South Africa.  

The work of facilitating and improving humanitarian outreach programs begins with careful collaboration and respect for the key goals of all prospective partners.

Donor organizations and individuals expect results and that money goes to helping people and providing care. CharisHealth realizes the importance of coordinating treatment programs with funding agency goals and objectives. We are committed to providing accurate, open and sustained reporting to all partner and donor organizations. By maintaining low-cost treatment programs, public and private organizations see higher yields for their investment both in the number of patients treated relative to cost and in the continued sustainability of independent projects.

Only a unified effort by many players can suitably impact the health crisis in Africa and around the globe. At the same time, the utmost care must be taken to ensure care is delivered in a lean and focused campaign. First and foremost, the CharisHealth approach means cutting through barriers and making life sustaining treatment available in real terms.

"The ordinary people of the continent and the world -and particularly the poor who on our continent, will again carry a disproportionate burden of this scourge - would, if anybody cared to ask their opinions, wish that the dispute about the primacy of politics or science be put on the backburner and that we proceed to address the needs and concerns of those suffering and dying. And this can only be done in partnership."
