Akilimali Global Foundation is developing a scalable border health delivery model that improves
access to essential care and diagnostics in underserved, high-mobility corridors,
starting in Kasumbalesa.
To deliver integrated primary healthcare and diagnostic services in border regions where distance, mobility, and fragmented health systems limit timely access to care.
The Foundation focuses on building scalable, locally anchored health infrastructure that improves early diagnosis, maternal health outcomes, and continuity of care in underserved communities.
Our work is guided by core values that ensure sustainable impact and community-centered solutions.
The Kasumbalesa Border Health Hub is a purpose-built healthcare campus designed to address the unique challenges of high-mobility border populations through integrated service delivery and diagnostic capacity.
A 15-acre campus featuring modular, expandable facilities designed for border-specific healthcare delivery.
Multi-stakeholder collaboration ensuring sustainability and comprehensive service delivery.
Designed for high-throughput outpatient care with surge capacity during peak travel and outbreak periods (designed capacity final modeling pending).
Our Phase 1 operating model is designed to deliver an essential clinical encounter triage,
clinician time, and core point-of-care diagnostics at an average cost of
~$12 per patient encounter (target internal model).
