Simavi works towards a healthy life for all. Good health is the basis of everything. It enables you to develop yourself socially and economically, take matters into your own hands and pursue your dreams. With good health, you can look after yourself and your family and lift yourself out of poverty. Simavi is an ambitious, growing development organisation.

We believe that those two themes are the basic determinants for a good health. We campaign to engage the general public and involve them in what we do. In 2017, we have restructured our organisation.
