We are one of the most experienced private sector and health markets organisations in Africa.

Our private sector and health markets practice is our largest. We have vast experience working with the private sector and strengthening and shaping health markets in more than 10 countries in Africa and Asia for clients including FCDO and USAID.

We take a holistic, unbiased and facilitatory approach to the private sector in health. We focus on how the private sector works effectively with the public sector, and how private sector players can leverage their combined expertise for greater impact within a total health market.

Halcyon’s experts have been at the forefront of private sector and health markets thinking and interventions for two decades.  We have carried out a wide-range of private sector and market assessments that have focussed on demand- and supply-side issues. We have helped design and manage large and impacting programmes that have delivered millions of health services and products through networks of private clinics and pharmacies, as well as through social marketing and franchised network.  Our experts have been responsible for introducing new family planning products into emerging markets and for facilitating deals with private manufacturers and distributors to introduce more efficient and sustainable supply chains. In recent years, some of our team have tested new and more sustainable, market-based delivery models and we’ve mapped out a series of interventions to support the Total Market Approach.
