Health NGOs, INGOs, UN agencies, and Ministries of Health work with us because we understand the environments they operate in. We’re not just filmmakers—we’re public health collaborators, behaviour change specialists, and digital learning experts.
We work in maternal health, adolescent wellbeing, disability, nutrition, NCDs, climate-related health, and more—with deep familiarity with global health priorities, protocols, and challenges.
Our global network includes 200+ filmmakers and 150+ medical/media/behavioural science specialists. We build diverse, localised teams to co-create content that reflects the realities and languages of your target communities.
From scoping and scriptwriting to animation, live-action filming, voiceover, subtitling, and offline delivery—we manage the full production process with transparency and care.
All content is peer-reviewed, audience-tested, and aligned with evidence-based guidelines. Our films are used in over 80 countries and embedded in national training and communication strategies.

Our work directly supports the UN SDGs:
We strengthen health systems and improve access to essential health education, especially for women and children.
We create content that empowers women and girls with knowledge about their bodies, rights, and choices.
We support lifelong learning for healthcare workers and communities through visual, inclusive, and practical education tools.
At Medical Aid Films, our values guide everything we do — from how we make films, to how we work with communities and partners, to the stories we choose to tell.
We are driven by the belief that film can save lives. Every story we tell, every partnership we form, and every decision we make is guided by our mission to improve health outcomes for women, children, and communities globally.
We never work alone. We collaborate with local organisations, Ministries of Health, global NGOs, and healthcare workers — ensuring every film is grounded in real-world insight and co-created with the people it’s designed to serve.
We believe access to health information is a human right. Our work focuses on reaching the most underserved — especially women, girls, and frontline health workers — across diverse languages, literacy levels, and geographies.
We hold ourselves to the highest standards — in both storytelling and medical accuracy. Our films are peer-reviewed, locally validated, and crafted with care to be clear, respectful, and culturally relevant.
We use new technologies where they add value — from VR and animation to mobile and social platforms — always with the aim of expanding reach, improving learning, and making health knowledge more accessible.
We believe in putting audiences first. That means listening to communities, testing what works, learning from what doesn’t, and continually improving how we create and share our films.
