About Us

IHPS began operating as a local sub-partner of ICAP at Columbia University within the framework of implementing PEPFAR under the CDC Track 1 Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Cooperative Agreement in 2010. ICAP program operations in South Africa, including most of the national senior leadership and all staff in the Eastern Cape (EC), KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), Free State (FS) and Northern Cape (NC) were transitioned to IHPS as a going concern.

IHPS inherited established geographic and organisational structures; operational as well as technical practices to provide services as an independent organisation without the learning curve typically associated with newly formed organisations.
