THET

What We Do

THET is committed to improving health services in developing countries through building long-term capacity. Based in the UK, we have over twenty years experience working with health institutions around the world, promoting action that is practical, sustainable and responsive.

We improve access to healthcare – People are better able to access lifesaving healthcare through an increased range and availability of quality services, greater health worker capacity, and improved facilities and resources.

We empower frontline health workers – Partners benefit from opportunities to enrich their professional and personal development – sharpening skills, learning new techniques and broadening experiences, harnessing the expertise and experience of UK health professionals.

We build long-term sustainability – Our approach creates relationships of mutual trust, respect, and solidarity. Programmes build on existing systems and work inline with strategic health plans, rather than creating parallel services. This work focuses on building long-term skills and capacity of health workers.

We develop mutually beneficial relationships – UK participants enhance skills and knowledge, delivering training and mentoring, and develop problem-solving skills and the ability to think creatively. They improve awareness and understanding of developing health systems. Link institutions also experience an increase in staff morale.
