Our work is focused in three main areas: Health Policy, Media and Public Education, and Health and Development in South Africa.

Through our Health Policy program, we provide facts, analysis, and explanation on health policy issues to policymakers, the media and the public. We try to provide information and analysis on a broad range of policy issues, emphasizing those that most affect low-income and vulnerable populations.

Through our Media and Public Education program, we work to broadly communicate information about health care issues to our audiences and to give people information that can help improve their health. As part of this effort, the Foundation operates the country's largest program in public opinion research on health issues and conducts a wide range of research projects on the impact of media in contemporary society. We also operate more than 20 joint ventures with different news and entertainment media organizations to reach key target groups with information on public health issues like reproductive health and HIV. Through our online information programs, the Foundation directly provides health policy and public health information to the health care community and the public.
