We want to improve the lives of millions of people who don’t have access to the help they need. To do that, we’re expanding our health-system partnerships at local, regional, and global levels.

Caring with Courage
In some of Zimbabwe's most remote regions, where healthcare facilities can be hours away on foot, we are working to transform access to care for non-communicable diseases with our partner OPHID (Organisation for Public Health Interventions and Development).
Our collaborative approach has empowered over 120 dedicated Community Outreach Agents, some who travel up to 60km weekly by bicycle to bring essential healthcare directly to isolated villages. These local champions monitor hypertension and diabetes in communities previously challenged to access medical services.

Bridging the Gap
We’re in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania to see how our Global Health Unit is ensuring access to healthcare through doctor visits and affordable healthcare for the most vulnerable.
This initiative exemplifies sustainable healthcare by:
- Breaking geographical barriers via strategic local partnerships
- Building resilient healthcare systems by training community members
- Empowering communities with health knowledge and tools
Together, we're reimagining healthcare delivery for vulnerable communities.
Sustainable Impact
The world is changing rapidly due to shifting demographics, the climate crisis and continued healthcare inequalities, all requiring us to rethink our shared global responsibility. Our goal to make a sustainable impact is founded on:
Supporting NGOs and health ministries
Inclusive Access
Co-designing inclusive, effective healthcare access models to help individuals and communities while fostering sustainable systems
Innovative Healthcare Partnerships
New partnerships with local start-ups and innovators who bring sustainable healthcare solutions for under-resourced regions to the table
Our Impact Brand
Our Impact brand enables us to make insulin, irbesartan, docetaxel, and 27 other quality medicines available, affordable and accessible in 40 of the world’s most vulnerable countries. These medicines, considered essential by the World Health Organization, bring solutions for people living with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, among other diseases.
This isn’t about dropping pallets of medicine from an aircraft. It’s about understanding where people meet to give and receive healthcare.
