Advancing Child
Healthcare in Africa.
We work to strengthen healthcare for newborns, infants, and children across Africa through compassionate, evidence-based clinical care, training, education, research, and advocacy.
We teach what we do,
and we do what we teach.
Exceptional healthcare and exceptional education go hand in hand. ICHA is more than a healthcare organization. We are a learning & teaching organization.
Every patient we care for informs better training. Every clinician we mentor strengthens another hospital. Every innovation we test helps improve care for children across Africa.
