On Call Africa works to improve access to quality healthcare in rural Zambia by strengthening health systems and influencing policy. Its Community Health Improvement Programme (CHIPs) focuses on four pillars: facility-based quality improvement, infrastructure upgrades, community health worker training, and research. Through partnerships with the Ministry of Health, CHIPs improves service quality, workforce capacity, and data-driven decision-making. Innovative solutions like solar-powered mobile health carts (e-carts) extend services such as vaccination, ultrasounds, and health education to remote areas. Guided by community engagement, evidence-based practices, and continuous learning, On Call Africa delivers sustainable, scalable healthcare solutions to underserved rural communities.

Objectives: The organisation's purposes are the advancement of health in rural areas of need in Africa where the population have little or no access to medical services.
