The Evercare Group has announced the launch of the Evercare Foundation, a nonprofit organization working toward equitable health for all and the development of more resilient health systems in low- and middle-income countries across Africa. 

The foundation will primarily focus on women and children—with priority being on women and girls’ adolescent health and well-being, including ante- and post-natal care, screening for non-communicable diseases such as breast and cervical cancer. In addition, the foundation will focus on treatment and rehabilitation for congenital birth defects and trauma-related conditions as well as disease prevention and immunization. The foundation will invest equally in initiatives related to human resources in health and leveraging the Evercare Group’s integrated healthcare corridor to strengthen health systems by supporting clinical trials and complex healthcare cases across borders. 

“The foundation presents another key avenue through which we can continue to deliver meaningful change and positive impact to traditionally underserved communities,” said Evercare CEO Massimiliano Colella. “Through focused partnerships and deliberate investments, the Evercare Foundation will continue to build sustainable development across our areas of operation.”
