Anova Health | Data Capturer Opportunity X1

Anova is an NGO that empowers people and changes lives. Good health and quality of life is what motivate us to provide healthcare solutions and provide support to those who needs it most.

Jab Smart is an Anova project that was set up in 2017 to respond to the specific needs of People Who Use Drugs (PWUD) in the City of Johannesburg (COJ).
