Background
Learn about the Chalker Foundation
The Chalker Foundation for Africa was established by Lynda, Baroness Chalker in response to the need to improve healthcare in Africa. From her experience as a former Minister of State for Africa and Minister for Overseas Development, and now working as a consultant specialising in Africa, Lynda Chalker is passionate about the need for investing in African talent to address African problems.
"Preventing disease, improving diagnosis and treatment as well as delivering better local care are fundamental to all development progress. Without health, few can achieve lasting improvements to their lives and a real chance to earn a better future."
