Who We Are

What is COWHA?

Coalition for Women’s Health in Africa (COWHA) is an engagement platform for knowledge, dialogue and action for improving women’s health in Africa. The coalition unifies private sector organizations that are working towards an enabling environment for women’s health in Africa.

COWHA is an initiative of Africa Health Business (AHB), a pan-African advisory and consulting firm that aims to increase equitable access to healthcare in Africa.

If women are empowered, women are healthy then societies are also healthy and empowered.

Thoughts on Women's Health

Women live longer than men, statistics show, however they may spend a greater proportion of their lives in poor health for a variety of reasons, attributable less to biological differences than to poverty and gender discrimination.

Women's health is global health and the cornerstone of families, communities, societies, and economies globally.
