Episode Synopsis
How to build a corporate strategy for Africa's largest international health NGO?
In our latest episode of Leading with Perspective, we are joined by Dr. Githinji Gitahi, Group CEO of Amref Health Africa. Amref is committed to transforming the health of African communities serving 30 million people in 35+ countries annually.
Since joining as CEO in 2015, Dr. Gitahi has led Amref through a remarkable transformation, shifting from a vertical disease-focused approach to a systems-led strategy. Under his leadership, the organisation has doubled its impact and budget while pioneering innovative approaches to community health.
Joined by ReD’s manager partner Mads Holme, Dr. Gitahi discusses Amref’s journey from its origins in the 1950s to becoming a leading voice in African healthcare policy, the challenges of transforming a large organisation's strategy and governance, and why addressing issues like climate change and youth engagement are critical for the future of health in Africa.
