In February, we officially onboarded five new Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD) beneficiaries, each bringing innovative solutions and passion to the healthcare value chain.
Small businesses are the heartbeat of South Africa’s economic growth and when we empower them, we strengthen healthcare access and outcomes across the country.
We remain committed to building a healthcare ecosystem that is inclusive, equitable and sustainable. To this end, our investment in enterprise development, particularly for black SMMEs that are owned by women, youth, people living with disabilities, and people living in rural and underdeveloped areas, is intentional and futurefocused. By equipping underrepresented groups to build and scale sustainable businesses, we unlock innovation that is rooted in lived experiences, community needs and real-world impact.
Our latest onboarding marks the beginning of meaningful collaboration, shared value, and longterm transformation. Together with our new partners, we are advancing our mission to build a healthier, more empowered South Africa – one enterprise at a time.
