We work shoulder-to-shoulder with countries and communities to save lives and improve the health of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people by building strong, resilient, sustainable health systems. For more than 50 years, we have focused on the people at the heart of the health system in each environment in which we work.

Our Mission

We work shoulder-to-shoulder with countries and communities to save lives and improve the health of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people by building strong, resilient, sustainable health systems.

Our Vision

A world where everyone has the opportunity for a healthy life.

How We Work

• We are committed to helping countries around the world achieve UHC in alignment with the third Sustainable Development Goal: We focus our efforts on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and fragile states.
• We partner to locally lead the way: We support people to build on what they already know to take charge of their own development and their own health. We establish trust and equitable relationships with those with whom we work. Our collaborators include the public and private sectors, civil society, and faith-based organizations, from health ministries to the community.
• We develop innovations for current and future health systems: We are committed to helping health systems adapt to the complex and evolving world we live in. We learn from all health systems globally and share what we have learned to build innovative solutions to health care challenges.
• We apply systems thinking: We look at every aspect of the health system and the social, economic, environmental, and other conditions that impact it to develop an adaptive and dynamic approach.
• We bring data to bear on every decision: Our strategies and approaches are based on current research, detailed results monitoring, input from partners and country governments, demographic and epidemiologic trends, and decades of experience.
• We work toward the goal of sustainability. Every intervention we undertake is designed to build on what already exists. We help develop leadership among motivated, well-trained health professionals and those who support them. Their leadership and ownership is at the heart of sustainability.
