Our Mission
The Fund for Global Health is a social profit organization. We are a philanthropic agency seeking improvement in social indicators rather than monetary profit, but we take a business-like approach, working to achieve the greatest possible impact per dollar invested. In short, our driving mission is to provide the maximum possible health benefit to vulnerable communities.

This 7-month old boy was brought into a Fund for Global Health clinic by his parents. They did not expect him to last the night. He was diagnosed with dehydration plus pneumonia, as well as background protein-energy malnutrition. He was treated as an in-patient free of charge.
This is the boy at his second visit, showing the initial effects of the drugs, IV fluids and supplementary food that had been provided.
This is how the child looked a month later at his follow up appointment.
Providing rural communities with access to high-quality health care is a key priority for the Fund for Global Health. Rural communities in developing countries often face severe health care constraints, we are working to change this by developing innovative strategies for health care delivery to rural communities.

Focus On Service Delivery
To estimate how much U.S. global health aid funds actual service delivery to individual patients, Fund for Global Health conducted research into four U.S. disease programs.
Comprehensive Primary Healthcare Delivery
Comprehensive primary health care, the first point of contact for people with health concerns, is the foundation of a strong health system.
Accountability in U.S. Global Health Aid
USAID has many indicators for measuring what goes into a project and what is achieved. The chosen indicators don’t all measure important health outcomes, however, and the whole system could be simplified with fewer indicators that focus more effectively on health outcomes.
