HIGHER HEALTH works in eight key areas to promote the health and wellbeing of students. Our main focus areas are HIV, STIs, TB, unplanned pregnancy, gender-based violence (GBV), mental illness and substance abuse. 

We promote the human rights of LGBTI students and people with disabilities, and support initiatives that respect their needs. 

HIGHER HEALTH works to provide accessible, quality health and social care – including associated psychosocial services – in order to reduce the impact of these conditions on affected students.
