Yes, South Africa receives funds, skills, expertise, as well as technical support from organisations outside the country. For example, Pfizer (one of the world’s leading bio-pharmaceutical companies) funds independent, non-profit organisations in South Africa to support local programmes that improve patient outcomes. This company forms part of a consortium of 20 other private healthcare companies that has partnered with the South African government’s National Department of Health to support the implementation of priority healthcare programmes (see https://www.pfizer.co.za/Communities).
