NHI is the government’s policy for achieving universal health-care coverage and aims to ensure that all patients are provided with care that is free at the point of delivery. The AHF provides a platform for the private sector to engage with the state on health-care issues. Regional chapters have been founded in East, West and Central Africa, and a North African chapter is expected to be launched in Addis Ababa in October.

Its participants include the Independent Practitioners Association Foundation, the SA Medical Association, the SA Medical Technology Industry Association, the Board of Healthcare Funders, Lenmed, Allegra, Ottobock, Neuberg Global and First Care.
