The Health Justice Initiative (HJI) is now recognised as a leading advocate for health equity in South Africa and globally, while focusing on issues of race and gender exclusion, and transparency and accountability for greater access to life saving medicines.

HJI has advocated against patent and monopoly power, highlighting inequities in vaccine, medicine and diagnostic  allocation, licensing, distribution and pricing. HJI has also exposed unethical  and unfair practices by global pharmaceutical companies, leading to inter alia regulatory interventions and investigations into excessive pricing, price gouging and patent evergreening. Beyond pandemic responses, HJI also conducts research and supports campaigns to ensure equitable access to health care and life saving medicines and for law reform.
