We work across the health and development ecosystem.
Platinum26 supports health-sector organisations with strategy, policy, programme review, facilitation, healthcare management, and implementation-focused advisory work across public, NGO, donor-funded, and private healthcare settings.
Selected work examples
These examples illustrate the type of work Platinum26 supports across strategy, policy, programme design, implementation planning, facilitation, healthcare management and health systems strengthening. Client details are anonymised where appropriate to protect confidentiality. Some assignments were delivered directly by Platinum26; others reflect the prior institutional experience of our senior consultants.
Case 1: National operating guidance for integrated health services
Client context: A national government health programme, supported by a global diagnostics manufacturer, required practical operating guidance to strengthen service delivery across priority disease areas.
Challenge: National health priorities had been clearly articulated, but implementation required practical tools that could be used by programme managers, facilities, clinicians and implementing partners. The work needed to translate technical guidance into clear operating materials while aligning multiple stakeholders around a common approach.
What we supported: Our senior consultants contributed to the development and refinement of standard operating materials for integrated services, including viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections and triple elimination priorities. The work involved technical synthesis, stakeholder engagement, workshop facilitation, review of existing guidance, and translation of policy priorities into usable implementation content.
Outputs: Standard operating materials and implementation guidance for priority health services.
Why it mattered: The assignment helped bridge the gap between national-level policy direction and practical service delivery. It supported clearer implementation expectations, improved consistency of guidance and strengthened the ability of frontline and programme teams to move from policy intent to operational action.
Relevant to: Ministries of Health, donor-funded programmes, diagnostics companies, technical partners, implementing NGOs and national disease programmes.
Case 2: Strategic planning for a major tertiary public hospital
Client context: A large tertiary public hospital required a practical multi-year strategic plan to guide leadership priorities, institutional performance and service improvement.
Challenge: The hospital operated in a complex public-sector environment with competing demands across governance, clinical quality, patient experience, data, digital enablement, infrastructure, workforce and operational delivery. The planning process needed to create alignment across senior leadership while producing a plan that could support implementation, monitoring and accountability.
What we supported: Platinum26 supported the design and facilitation of the strategic planning process, synthesis of leadership inputs, structuring of strategic pillars, development of implementation-oriented content and preparation of a formal strategic plan for executive review.
Outputs: A multi-year strategic plan, implementation framing, monitoring considerations and executive-level planning materials.
Why it mattered: The work helped translate broad institutional priorities into a structured strategy that could guide decision-making, leadership alignment and implementation tracking. It also strengthened the link between governance, clinical excellence, patient experience, digital systems, data use and operational accountability.
Relevant to: Hospitals, provincial health departments, public-sector executives, facility leadership teams and health service managers.
Case 3: Hybrid primary health care model development for an international mother and child health NPO
Client context: An international mother and child health NPO required a practical model to strengthen primary health care support through peer, community and allied health worker roles.
Challenge: The organisation needed a delivery model that could define roles, workflows, supervision, quality assurance, training, indicators and implementation support across a hybrid workforce. The model had to be practical enough for field implementation while still aligned with broader health systems, programme quality and accountability requirements.
What we supported: Senior consultants supported the development of a hybrid primary health care model and associated operating materials. This included model design, role clarification, workflow development, SOP-style content, quality assurance considerations, indicator framing, training considerations and practical implementation guidance.
Outputs: A model framework, operating guidance, SOP-style materials, quality assurance components, indicator considerations and implementation support tools.
Why it mattered: The work helped convert a promising service delivery concept into a more structured and implementable model. It supported clearer expectations for teams, stronger supervision and quality thinking, and better alignment between community-level support and formal health system priorities.
Relevant to: NGOs, community health programmes, maternal and child health organisations, PHC partners, donor-funded service delivery programmes and implementing agencies.
Case 4: Patient access, affordability and healthcare stakeholder programme
Client context: A healthcare communications and executive training partner required a practical programme for stakeholders working at the intersection of patient access, affordability, reimbursement, funder engagement and value communication.
Challenge: Healthcare stakeholders often operate across clinical, commercial, policy and funder environments without a shared language for access and affordability. The programme needed to help participants understand the realities of patient access, the pressures facing funders and providers, and the importance of credible communication in health-sector decision-making.
What we supported: Platinum26 supported the development and facilitation of a practical learning programme focused on patient access, affordability and healthcare value communication. The work combined health systems insight, private-sector healthcare understanding, facilitation design and applied discussion of stakeholder roles.
Outputs: A practical workshop concept, facilitation structure, participant-facing materials, discussion prompts and applied learning content.
Why it mattered: The programme created a structured space for health-sector stakeholders to examine access and affordability challenges more practically. It supported clearer thinking about patients, providers, funders, healthcare companies and the communication needed to build credible engagement across the system.
Relevant to: Healthcare companies, diagnostics manufacturers, pharmaceutical teams, medical schemes, provider groups, healthcare communications teams, training partners and market access professionals.
