Amref Health Africa is a non-governmental international organization committed to improving health and healthcare in sub-Saharan Africa. The Kenyan company began as the Flying Doctors, providing surgical services to remote communities using light aircraft. The non-profit company's approach is community-based, making the people they reach partners rather than just beneficiaries. The company's priorities have since expanded to strengthen health systems and train African health workers to respond to the continent's most critical health challenges. Over 97%% of their staff are Africans, so they are always tackling African challenges with African expertise. Amref Health Africa is headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, with offices in 35 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Githinji Gitahi has been the CEO of the company since 2015.
