Our Work

We analyze and translate evidence to inform and catalyze investments towards the world’s deadliest health conditions. We partner directly with implementers, funders, and financial institutions to develop tailored financing solutions to maximize health and financial impact. Our focus is on investments in the prevention, access, and adherence of chronic disease management. We increase capital investments in global health to foster economic, social, and health gains in the short and long term.

We offer expertise in global health, economics, and blended finance. We closely partner with the private sector, national and regional governments, financial institutions and partners, and international organizations.

Our Approach

Our Focus

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a top threat to economic and global development.
What are NCDs?

Non-communicable diseases, also often called chronic conditions, are largely made up of the following disease groups:

  • Cardiovascular diseases (leading to heart attacks and stroke)
  • Cancer
  • Respiratory diseases (such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma)
  • Diabetes
  • Mental health conditions

Together, chronic conditions are responsible for over 50% of deaths and over 60% of the disease burden in developing countries.

NCDs: Myths vs. Truths

Myths

There are many myths and misperceptions about NCDs:

  • They are diseases of the rich
  • They are self-inflicted because of individual choice and lazy behaviors
  • They only affect older populations
Truths

Nobody Chooses Disease.

NCDs stem from a range of environmental, biological, and societal factors. Their causes include genetic, environmental, and societal risk factors and determinants.
