Unjani Clinics

About

Unjani Clinic NPC is a non-profit company that aims to bring quality, affordable healthcare services to communities across South Africa. Through a successful social franchise model, we have been able to build a sustainable network of clinics owned and run by black women professional nurses, improving healthcare quality and access while creating employment in our communities.

We have achieved this through a unique approach to growing our footprint of care settings. Our innovative blended financing and business models ensure the commercial viability and sustainability of each clinic, with support from our committed and loyal partners and funders. We aim to make quality, affordable primary healthcare services more accessible, while driving sustainability at every level.

South Africa has two healthcare systems: the private sector for insured individuals and those who can afford to pay out-of-pocket, and the public sector for the rest of the nation. Given the entrenched socioeconomic inequality in our country, this means that more than 80% of the population relies on the overburdened public healthcare system.

Under-resourced government hospitals and clinics face another obstacle: a shortage of doctors. The Unjani Clinic model is designed in part to reduce the burden on the public healthcare system by task shifting work often performed by doctors to professional nurses. With high-quality services offered at affordable prices, employed but uninsured patients are able to obtain the care they need, freeing up capacity for the public healthcare sector to provide adequate free care to unemployed and uninsured individuals.

Our mission is not only to create and improve access to quality, affordable primary care, but to advocate for accessible healthcare, while building a foundation that enables and empowers our nurses and their patients. In this way, we allow our network to flourish and empower healthcare access in South Africa.
