Our Global Health Initiative

Half the world lacks access to essential health services. Vulnerable populations in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) face rising rates of infectious and non-communicable diseases and increasing healthcare costs.1

We’re working to accelerate universal health coverage to improve healthcare delivery for those who need it most.

The scale of the global health challenge

  • High-income countries represent 20% of the world’s population but receive 80% of global health spending.2

  • Every year, healthcare costs push 100 million people into poverty.

  • By 2035, the global shortage of health workers will reach 12.9 million.

Tackling health inequality together

Together we can

We invest in AI as a scalable solution to the global shortage of health workers and the urgent need for improved child and adolescent health. Our partnership responds to this need in East Africa and Romania, creating impact for adolescents and insights for Fondation Botnar and Ada to expand this innovative approach to other low- and middle-income countries.
