Creating powerful films and digital media to save lives, improve women’s health, and promote gender equity.
At Medical Aid Films, we harness the power of storytelling to increase access to critical health knowledge, empower women, and strengthen communities.
Rooted in locally led, community-driven approaches, our work ensures that life-saving information reaches those who need it most.
Led by women and informed by the voices of the communities we serve, our films and training programmes reflect lived experiences and local realities. We produce scalable, adaptable content that expands alongside global efforts to improve healthcare for women and families worldwide.
From health education to humanitarian storytelling, we create, train, and evaluate—equipping communities with the tools they need for lasting transformation.
We are a diverse team of humanitarians, behaviour change specialists, global health experts, filmmakers, animators, and producers. Our content is rigorously reviewed by a peer group to ensure accuracy, inclusivity, and cultural sensitivity.
Since 2007, we have championed women’s leadership in storytelling, co-creating impactful media alongside local communities to ensure representation, authenticity, and relevance. Our commitment to women’s voices, rights, and empowerment is at the core of every film we produce. By centring women and marginalised voices, our storytelling fosters local leadership, resilience, and sustainable impact in health and humanitarian action.
We partner with grassroots organisations, NGOs, international agencies, governments, universities, and corporate clients to co-create impactful films and animations tailored to their storytelling needs. Our approach ensures that communities are not just beneficiaries but active co-creators, ensuring authenticity, representation, and effectiveness.
We create powerful films and digital media to save lives, improve women’s health, and promote gender equity. We also support innovation in climate and health storytelling, and explore new tools—including AI-assisted content and immersive formats—to expand reach and engagement.
Our specialist trainers empower local organisations, filmmakers, and community storytellers with essential skills in media production, storytelling, and ethical filmmaking. We also provide robust monitoring and evaluation services to ensure inclusivity, accuracy, and measurable outcomes.
Through our films and partnerships, we empower communities to take ownership of their health narratives, enhance healthcare knowledge, and drive action. Our work has reached millions and continues to create grassroots-led change that lasts.
We are committed to digital transformation in health communication—leveraging mobile access, interactive tools, AI-assisted platforms, and climate-resilient production methods to better serve communities across the globe.
