About Health Horizons International

MISSION

Our mission is to empower local communities in developing countries to achieve, live and sustain a comfortable life..

In fulfilling our mission, we provide services, and technical assistance in three core sectors:


Health:
Poor management of chronic diseases and their related illnesses and lack of accessible health care are among the leading causes of death among the adult population of the central African region. HHI focuses resources in the sensitization and education of communities on the management of the chronic diseases, and provides health services and drugs to patients at affordable prices.

Education and Training: HHI will create a school that will focus on the education and training of nurses to American Standards. Local nursing schools provide basic training to their students but it is not enough and does not aid in improving healthcare management. HHI also envisions the creation of a NCLEX testing center in the near future.
We are also able to provide support to local governments in the implementation of programs for better care of chronic disease patients


Pharmaceutical drugs: using our strategic position in the United States, HHI is able to negotiate with large pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors to provide lower, more affordable drugs in central Africa and beyond.

MANAGEMENT

Our team is uniquely qualified to provide development institutions and practitioners with the needed ingredients necessary to achieve sustainable, positive changes in the lives of vulnerable communities in developing countries. Our leadership has the background, skills and experience demanded of their positions, significant team spirit, and the blend of passion, and commitment required for community development.
