At the Catalyst Group’s Health Practice, we consider it our responsibility to partner, especially with vulnerable communities, to help realise this potential through health and well-being.
Through a 360-degree approach, we leverage the strengths of a global social impact consulting firm and 25 years of experience. The Health Practice works across both Catalyst Management Services and its sister organisation, Swasti, a global south public health agency that partners with communities at the last mile to further health and well-being.
Our work centres around Health Systems Strengthening and Community Systems Strengthening with the aim of achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC), health equity and quality primary care for all.
Few initiatives include:
