Dos Santos Costa Foundation NPC

At Dos Santos Costa Foundation (DSCF), we believe that now is the time to democratize Health services so that access to and managing Health is a right for all citizens, not just the affluent. We are driven by this purpose, and we uphold our cultural values of collaboration, innovation, wellness and inclusion as our guide for making decisions and conducting business every day. It is our duty and privilege to be all champions and put those we serve at the center of everything we do.

We are one team that respects and values diversity of thought for everyone, everywhere, and we actively seek to create an energizing workplace that brings out the best in all of us. If you’re ready to shape the future of Health, join the team at DSCF. We’re proud to work here. You will be too.
