Our Values
Humanity
Before all else, we are human. We respect others, are considerate and value human diversity in perspective, experiences and background which moves the human race forward. We treat each other with kindness and empathy.
Integrity
We believe that doing the right thing comes first. We love to win but how we win does matter. Tell the truth, don’t take or offer bribes and guard your reputation by all means.
Professionalism
We are professionals keen on making a contribution in our different spaces. We apply our professional expertise and competencies in discharging our mandate. We uphold professional standards of conduct and aspire to inspire professionalism in the industry.
Team Work
We are a team and our bond unites us. We work as a team, win as a team and face our shortcomings together. We believe in each other and strive to help each other get better in the pursuit of our professional and personal aspirations.
Client Value Creation
We work with and for others in the conduct of our business. In each of our interactions with clients, we focus on delivering value to them – solving a problem they are contending with, enabling them solve a problem they have or facilitating access to resources they need to meet key needs. We play to our competitive advantage to deliver value even when it means referring clients to our peers or competitors in the market. When we don’t have the capacity, we inform our clients upfront and explore ways to help them.
Areas of Work
Our Approach
Health is a human right. Our aim is to ensure every individual in Africa can realize this right. To achieve this, we acknowledge the role and contribute of each stakeholder in the continent.
We therefore come into the nexus with a mission to catalyze, empower and unlock possibilities for all stakeholders to harness the maximum value possible in ensuring every patient has the health products their need in Africa.
