About Impact Santé Afrique (ISA)
Impact Santé Afrique (ISA) is a pan-African public health organisation working to strengthen health systems and accelerate the end of malaria across the continent. Through evidence-based advocacy, technical assistance and strategic partnerships, we support governments, parliamentarians and civil society in mobilising the resources and political will needed to achieve health equity.
