As the only nurse-led initiative and network in South Africa, this is a unique model that offers convenience, quality and affordable primary healthcare in the communities that we serve. Patients do not have the long waiting queues experienced in Government facilities, they have the convenience of walking to their local Unjani Clinic as opposed to having to take transport and they are guaranteed the medicines required to treat their diagnosis. Access to affordable primary healthcare is thus enhanced through the Unjani Clinic Network. The value proposition for our patient is convenient, accessible, affordable, quality primary healthcare services. Unlike many other international clinic models, the Unjani Clinics Network is not a private, public, partnership (PPP), it is entirely private, and the clinics receive no Government assistance (product, price or otherwise). We serve Government patients by offering them an affordable, alternative healthcare solution. With 182 Unjani ClinicCare Settings currently operational nationally in South Africa, we believe we have a proven formula for success and need to transition to scale in order to maximise our impact and achieve greater reach of the target populations; and populations in other African countries. Unjani Clinic is a network of black women owned and operated primary healthcare clinics that provide accessible, affordable and quality healthcare to communities in low income areas of South Africa. It complements the re-engineering of our healthcare system by creating community based healthcare structures at the point of need. It is an innovative model to address the inequality which exists between private and public healthcare services in our country. Whilst private and public hospitals and clinics exist there are too few to deal with the increasing healthcare burden and private healthcare is too expensive for the bulk of the population. The innovation behind Unjani Clinic is based on shifting primary healthcare tasks to Professional Nurses and the ability to leverage a highly developed and extensive private sector distribution network to ensure more people have access to quality primary healthcare and medicines. Many of the existing Nurse-led models are reliant on health department support or assistance through PPP's (Public Private Partnerships) i.e. Government has the demand and works with the private sector to deliver the requirements; Unjani Clinics are solely private, offering Government patients a choice to use an affordable, alternative model of quality care!
