Africa Health Placements is the new name for the joint venture between the RHI and the Foundation for Professional Development.

South Africa is an exhilarating, spectacular and complex country. With its post-apartheid identity still in the process of definition, there is undoubtedly an abundance of energy and sense of progress. www.frommers.com

A huge advantage of working in South Africa is the opportunity to travel with its wide open spaces, game reserves, mountain ranges and on to the brilliant coral reefs of the Indian Ocean The climate leads to a life outdoors, whether you enjoy a 'Braai' or 'game viewing' climbing in the Drakensberg or a exploring the coast line, there is something for everyone.

Welcome to Africa Health Placements

This project is a joint venture between Foundation for Professional Development (Pty) Ltd and the Rural Health Initiative

Africa Health Placements(AHP) is a not-for-profit project that aims to support the recruitment and retention of public sector health professionals in Africa.

Within this, priority is given to those facilities serving the most disenfranchised communities on the continent.

AHP is working to fill vacancies in the South African public sector from two sources: (1) foreign qualified health professionals and (2) local qualified health professionals home and abroad.

In addition, AHP assists the National Department of Health in its own recruitment and government to government agreements in the placement, orientation and retention of recruited health professionals. Assistance is also offered to the HPCSA and SANC wherever possible. The Project supports a number of other local and international organisations in their efforts to improve the healthcare capacity of South Africa.
