The Aga Khan Health Services (AKHS) operate facilities in Kenya and Tanzania that provide health care to over 700,000 patients per year.
The AKDN takes a broad, long-range approach to health that addresses some of the chronic health issues in poor communities. It delivers services directly by operating one of the largest non-profit, private healthcare systems in the developing world – and has done so for over 60 years. It works to transform healthcare systems by training thousands of nurses, midwives and doctors. It operates community health projects, often in conjunction with rural development programmes, in some of the poorest and remote areas of the planet.
