How It All Started
The African Health Innovation Centre (AHIC) is Ghana’s first organisation dedicated to improving health outcomes by leveraging innovation and entrepreneurship.
Established in 2016 as the health innovation programme of Impact Hub Accra, AHIC transitioned to an independent entity in 2019 and began expansion to serve all of sub-Saharan Africa. To date, AHIC has led projects in East, West, and Southern Africa.
Today, AHIC continues to build on its success, thanks to its strong partnerships with a broad range of local and international entities.
These partnerships are critical to AHIC’s efforts to drive transformative change and address critical health challenges facing communities across Ghana. By harnessing the collective strengths of these esteemed organisations, AHIC is able to design and implement innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of the health sector and help build healthy communities.
Our Values

We believe innovative ideas will change the world and want African entrepreneurs to design, implement, and scale the next generation of health solutions.

Trustworthy
We operate with integrity and transparency.Â
