For three decades, we’ve helped save lives after natural and manmade disasters—delivering aid quickly and under duress.
Now, we are bringing resources to some of the most difficult health problems the world is facing today. Along with medicine and supplies, we are developing and providing proven systems of care that can be used effectively in remote clinics, mobile medical units and large hospitals—anywhere there is a need.
Chronic Disease
Diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular diseases are becoming leading causes of death in most countries. Learn how we target resources to meet this challenge.
Disaster Preparedness
In disaster-prone regions of the world we are pre-positioning relief aid with local partners for life-saving response within the first 72 hours. See how we prepare for the worst.
Safe Hospitals
Healthy hospital workers means better care and healthier patients. Our health worker safety initiative has already had an impact.
Communicable Disease
Poor countries face deadly outbreaks of preventable and treatable diseases such as cholera, hepatitis, HIV/AIDS and TB. Our programs save lives every day.
Mother and Child Health
Pregnancy, childbirth and infancy are vulnerable times for mothers and children. Learn how we are protecting them.
Nutrition
Malnutrition can have deadly consequences for children, adults and entire communities. Our nutrition programs are changing that.
Health Care Access
Simple access to health care is a formidable challenge for millions of people. See how we get health care to the people who need it.
Health Infrastructure
The critical need for hospitals and clinics in poor countries is especially acute after a disaster. That’s why our collaborative work serves a model for restoring, building and expanding health facilities.
Mental Health Services
In major disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina in the U.S. and the Tsunami in Japan, the trauma lingers long after the event has faded from public view. Our groundbreaking programs address that need.
