The African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF) Canada is recognized today as Africa's premier health development organization. Headquartered in Africa with the majority of its staff being African, AMREF is the only international African NGO of its kind.
AMREF's mission is to ensure access to good health for the most vulnerable and marginalized people in Africa. With their active involvement, we develop and implement innovative and sustainable solutions to critical health challenges facing the continent.
