Company Overview
Africa Healthcare Network has built the largest dialysis chain across East Africa and is continuing to expand rapidly across the region. We are providing high-quality, life-saving dialysis at an affordable cost to both the local patient population and patients from neighboring countries, which do not have centers of their own. AHN brings world class technical expertise combined with developing world practical operating experience to a region in dire need of quality dialysis treatment. To level set, in North America, over 97% of patients requiring treatment for kidney disease receive care; in East Africa, less than 5% receive care. AHN’s goal is to increase access to high quality care at a lower cost to patients, delivered through a sustainable business model.
AHN operates across East Africa with 3 dialysis centers in Rwanda, 16 in Tanzania, 6 in Kenya and expecting to have 35 centers at the end of 2022. We are looking at expansion within our current markets as well as exploring new market opportunities. AHN is a fast-growing organization that has continued to scale over the past couple of years and is in a very exciting part of the growth trajectory where we will continue to grow but also are working on establishing strong operational processes that enable this growth.
