Africa Centre for Inclusive Health Management??

The Africa Centre for Inclusive Health Management, formerly the Africa Centre for HIV/Aids Management, is dedicated to education, research and community engagement in health leadership and transformation. Established in response to South Africa's HIV/Aids epidemic, the centre launched the Postgraduate Diploma in HIV/Aids Management in 2001, focusing on the workplace's role in combatting the epidemic. Over two decades, the centre has evolved to address the complexities of health ecosystems, integrating critical management theory and African knowledge systems into its approach.
