Our Global Health Unit

Everyone should have access to healthcare, no matter where they live. We're helping to make that happen. But we can’t do it alone.

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.

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

Comprehensive support for the transition to universal health coverage for non-communicable diseases

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.
