Our Story

For 20 years Epicentre, has worked steadily as a multi-ethnic team to fight back against South Africaโ€™s infectious diseases, and now weโ€™re taking on COVID-19!

We work with government organisations, businesses and funders to address some of South Africa's most critical problems. We specialise in medical testing, implementing technologically advanced public health research, program impact assessment & implementing workplace programs. Since our founding in 2001, Epicentre has been helping its clients and partners to build strategies, develop partnerships within their communities and implement programmes that have a lasting and positive social and financial impact.

Epicentre focuses on two major areas: Community-based or Clinic-based Research to help our partners both in and out of the field to understand COVID, HIV, TB and other chronic conditions. We aim through our programs to help and understand those that are affected and to stop the spread of infection to those that are not.

Implementing evidence-based COVID/HIV and Wellness interventions in a workplace setting. Epicentre helps businesses to assess health-based problems within their company, and then plan, manage and put in place an HIV and Wellness programmes that have proven results; which we can look back on and evaluate within each individual business.
