We do this by leveraging the expertise and energy of the UK health community, supporting Health Partnerships between NHS institutions, Royal Colleges and academic institutions in the UK and those overseas.
In the past ten years THET has reached over 100,000 health workers across 31 countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia in partnership with over 130 UK institutions.
In 2018, the charity had a turnover of £5m and employed 30 staff across six offices. From 2020 onwards, our turnover will be £8m a year.
