About Unjani Clinics

Unjani Clinics NPC

Unjani Clinics NPC is a non-profit company (Reg #2014/089277/08) and registered public benefit organization (PBO #930047735) established to implement and manage the Unjani Clinic Network.

Ownership None. Significant assets None – not for profit motive, with cost recoveries.

MISSION STATEMENT

To empower black women, build a sustainable network of nurse owned and operated primary healthcare clinics nationally and create permanent jobs.

BUSINESS CONCEPT

Unjani Clinic is an Enterprise Development initiative aimed at:

  • Empowering Black Women Professional Nurses;
  • Creating Permanent Jobs; and
  • Perfecting a Sustainable Clinic Model for providing primary healthcare.

Originally pioneered by Imperial, the concept was developed out of the need for the urgent transformation in the healthcare system in South Africa; the fact that our country faces the triple affliction of HIV, AIDS & TB; the fact that 84% of our population are dependent on an overburdened Public Sector system; and a costly curative-care based model vs. disease prevention and promotion.

The initiative is delivered through a Non-Profit Company registered as Unjani Clinics NPC, who acts as the support structure in the relationship. The legal structure is based on a Non-Profit Company, without members.

This NPC structure was put in place in order to provide maximum funding benefit to the beneficiaries of Unjani Clinic NPC, the professional nurses that join the network as well as the funders or donors to the NPC (who will receive the necessary legal and tax exemption certificates). All of the clinics are Exempted Micro Enterprises – 100% black women owned and their turnover levels are below R10m annually, thus, the relevant BBBEE Affidavits will be provided to all funders to ensure that they meet the DTI Scorecard requirements.

There are currently 236+ care settings in the Unjani Clinic Network

Founded on an owner-operator model, our clinics serve the “bottom of the pyramid” and under-served markets; ensuring an affordable, quality primary healthcare service and the supply of quality medicines to the people of South Africa. The clinics are based in the communities of our Country ensuring that the service is delivered at the point of need.

GOALS & OBJECTIVES

Our Vision for the Network is to:

  • To build a SUCCESSFUL NETWORK of nurse owned and operated clinics
  • To set the benchmark for delivering QUALITY AND AFFORDABLE healthcare services to the people of South Africa
  • To serve the network with the same PASSIONATE COMMITMENT that they provide to their patients
  • To provide business mentoring and coaching for SUSTAINABLE ENTERPRISES
