HIGHER HEALTH is a national agency that seeks to inspire success of two million students that attend 26 universities and 50 TVET colleges by improving their health and wellbeing. We seek to reduce the effect of health-related conditions that often challenge students in tertiary studies and which, if left unaddressed, can lead to students delaying the completion and even abandoning their studies.

HIGHER HEALTH develops and implements a range of health, wellness and psychosocial services across 420 campus sites and rural, informal and urban settings in all 52 districts across South Africa.With a national office in Centurion, Gauteng, HIGHER HEALTH operates through a network of 70 district-based offices and three regional offices (in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town.

HIGHER HEALTH’s vision is to be the primary instrument for improving student success rates and completion of studies through enhanced levels of holistic health and psychosocial wellbeing. The mission of HIGHER HEALTH is to inspire success through improving wellbeing among students across the post-schooling education sector.
