Our Work in Africa
“Save a Pill, Save a Life” in Overcrowded Clinics and Underserved Nations
Our work in Africa represents the next chapter of the James Hollister Wellness Foundation’s mission: not only to supply life-saving medications where they’re most needed—but to help build sustainable healthcare systems that can serve communities for generations to come.
In a continent where basic resources are often stretched thin, our goal is simple but powerful: to deliver medical supplies that make an immediate impact today, while investing in infrastructure that secures a healthier tomorrow.
Donka Hospital – Conakry, Guinea
In early 2025, we began one of our most urgent and ambitious partnerships to date: supporting Donka Hospital, the largest public healthcare facility in Guinea’s capital, Conakry.
Donka Hospital is over capacity and chronically underfunded, serving thousands of patients with limited equipment and overwhelmed staff. Despite being a critical institution in West Africa, it struggles to meet the basic needs of the population.
Building a New Future: A Hospital for Guinea
Recognizing that stopgap solutions are not enough, we’re also partnering with Thierno and Nene Bah, visionary leaders and healthcare advocates, to construct a brand-new hospital in the capital region.
This project is designed to deliver:
A modern facility with greater capacity
Reliable access to medical equipment and supplies
Long-term, affordable care for the country’s most vulnerable populations
We’re currently working hand-in-hand with local stakeholders and government officials to make this vision a reality—one that represents a shift from emergency aid to lasting, systemic change.
Expanding Regional Partnerships
As our presence in Africa grows, we are actively building partnerships in other underserved countries where medicine is scarce and infrastructure is weak. Our approach focuses on listening to local experts, understanding the most pressing needs, and deploying solutions that are culturally and logistically sustainable.
