Alliance for Public Health

What Alliance for Public Health does

Alliance for Public Health (ICF Alliance for Public Health) is a Ukrainian-registered international charitable foundation founded in 1999 that operates a portfolio of digital health services targeting people living with HIV (PLHIV) and key populations (people who use drugs, sex workers, men who have sex with men, transgender individuals and migrants) across the Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECA) region. Its product stack includes TWIN, a digital assistant and virtual social worker providing information and referrals on HIV, sexual and reproductive health and dependencies; Help24 TeleHealth, an online clinic offering telemedicine, prevention kits (HelpBoxes), mental health, social-worker and legal support; Drugstore and the Free2Ask mobile app, an education platform with psychological consultations and an overdose bot; ReACT (Rights–Evidence–Actions), a community-led monitoring tool for human rights violations deployed across 14 EECA countries; and a DHIS2-based national HIV prevention, care and support information system with mobile data entry and offline synchronization, launched in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in 2024.

The organization's underlying technology combines DHIS2-based national information systems, mobile applications with offline capability, and AI-assisted conversational assistants. Distribution is digital-first and self-serve through dedicated websites and iOS/Android apps, with direct integration into national health authorities for the DHIS2 deployments.

The business model is grant-funded rather than commercial: services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries, with revenue derived from institutional grants (the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is named as the primary funder), technical partnership support (Frontline AIDS), and diversified donations via GlobalGiving, Endaoment and the organization's own donation portal. No commercial pricing, headcount, revenue figure, or private/venture funding is disclosed in the available data, reflecting the non-profit operating model rather than opacity.
