About RaggAhmed
RaggAhmed is a health and communications consultancy. We offer writing, editing and publishing services to governments, universities and non-government organisations in health and social services. We teach and provide training in writing and communication skills. And we provide consultancy services, including health advice, strategic communications and change management.
We are based in Sydney, but work with clients across Australia and in Asia.
Our unique combination of excellent communication skills, a broad and deep knowledge of health and expertise in project management allows us to provide full-service support from strategic planning and research, through to the development of communications resources, project implementation and evaluation.
We have a particular interest in:
- mental health
- public health
- consumer health literacy
- effective communication.
We work only with clients who have the public good at heart.
How are we different?
Well, we start from the endpoint. What are you trying to achieve? Who do you need to communicate with? What do you want to change?
We work in partnership with the client, but never forget the ultimate audience. Our work is not only professional and accurate, but contains the nuances and subtleties demanded in health.

Snapshot series reports
RaggAhmed publishes our own series of reports on key issues in the public health arena. Our report Fine, but not fair, published in 2009, analyses the state of health and health care in Australia, and finds that for most, the weather is fine, but for some, they are dark days indeed.
