Education for Health Africa (EFHA) was established in 2018 with a clear and meaningful purpose:
To make high-quality, practical Occupational Health training accessible to every workplace across Africa.
We create clean, modern, easy-to-follow learning materials that blend international best practice with the realities of African workplaces – clinics, industries, mobile units, NGOs, community programmes, and remote settings.
All content reflects current legislation, SANS standards, and global clinical guidance, and is written in a way that is approachable for beginners and advanced practitioners alike.
