Who we are

Health information should be relevant.

Every day, people across Africa search for answers to their health questions. Most of what they find was written for somebody else. It names foods they don’t eat, prices they don’t pay, and services they can’t reach. It ignores the beliefs, family pressures and daily realities that decide what they can do.

Pákó Health was built to close that gap. Our publication, The Journal, publishes clear, medically reviewed articles for readers in Africa. We reflect the food on their plate, the words they use, and the services in their community.

If you live in Africa and want to make health information useful for people around, you’re self motivated and can work effectively on a small team, you’ll fit in here.
