Accelerating access to healthcare technology

We believe technology can help close the world’s health gaps. By putting people first, we find new ways to advance health while reducing costs. And through partnerships, education, and advocacy, we dismantle barriers to care so more people can benefit from these life-transforming innovations.

Philanthropy & Cause Initiatives

Putting Purpose Into Action: Philanthropy
The global impact of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) is significant. Each year, 15 million people between the ages of 30 and 69 die of an NCD, with more than 85% of these premature deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries. This is compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the greatest impacts affecting the underserved. Our philanthropic activities are central to our ability to improve access to vital treatment, support, and care for underserved communities.
