Our partners
Building an African lupus ecosystem together
Change happens when we work together. Improving the lives of people living with lupus requires collaboration across the health and social ecosystem.
From healthcare providers and diagnostic services to pharmaceutical companies, mental health organisations and patient advocates, our partners bring expertise, resources, reach and shared commitment to advancing better lupus outcomes.
Together, we are working to strengthen the lupus journey, from awareness and early diagnosis to treatment, psychosocial support, patient empowerment and long-term care.

Together
We are changing the lupus journey
Our partnerships demonstrate what is possible when patients, healthcare institutions, researchers, private-sector organisations, civil society and the media work together.
As LFA grows its work across Africa, we are committed to building a broader network of partners who can help advance awareness, evidence, patient voice, access to care, policy change and health equity for people living with lupus across the continent.
None of this was built by us alone.
