ABOUT SEMPHN

We are leaders, facilitators and influencers towards the shared goal of better primary health care.

• Influencing Government policy on primary health care reform.

Evidence-based practice is the foundation of our work. We are constantly asking, ‘together, how can we do this even better?’ This could mean challenging the status quo and designing things differently.
