Tekano Fellowship for Health Equity 2025 — Leadership Development for Social Justice Changemakers in South Africa

Tekano is a leading South African organisation committed to creating health equity and addressing systemic injustice. As one of seven global Atlantic Fellows programmes, Tekano understands that health is deeply political. In line with the World Health Organization’s definition, health means “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being,” not just the absence of disease. Health inequities are rooted in unjust policies, systems, and histories.
