Catalyzing Progress for Gender Parity through Global Health Partnerships
Health impacts multiple aspects of women’s daily lives, yet many lack access to quality care. In support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we at Pfizer are committed to advancing Global Goal 5, gender equality, by improving access to equitable healthcare for women in underserved communities.

Partnering with AMP Health to Increase Access to Healthcare in Africa
We’re proud to share that we have joined the Aspen Management Partnership for Health (AMP Health) and its network of partners to help strengthen community health systems in Africa by increasing access to quality healthcare. With our support, AMP Health will be able to scale its existing programs in Malawi, Kenya, and Sierra Leone by building the capacity and leadership necessary to set in place critical systems of thousands of community health workers. Pfizer’s previous grant contributions will also be matched this year by the USAID private sector matching funds program, which will allow AMP Health to extend its efforts to additional African nations, including Ghana and Zambia.

Accelerating Access to NCD Care in Tanzania
In many low- and middle-income countries, it can be difficult for people living with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) to access the care they need. Those living with NCDs – like cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, and mental health conditions – often struggle to take care of themselves and their loved ones. And the situation becomes even more burdensome with age.

Individuals Working Together to Eliminate Trachoma
Every day, thousands of individuals work in different capacities toward the global elimination of trachoma, a neglected tropical disease (NTD) and the world’s leading infectious cause of blindness. From manufacturing the antibiotic used to help treat trachoma, to distributing medication in affected communities, to performing surgery on those suffering from trichiasis, the blinding stage of trachoma, the roles in the fight to eliminate this disease are wide-ranging.

Empowering Local Innovators to Solve Today’s Global Health Challenges
A $3 birthing kit created by an entrepreneur in India. A mHealth tool that enables health workers to accurately and rapidly diagnose common illnesses in rural Liberia. A chain of primary health clinics in rural Kenya that employ a community-ownership model. These are just a few of the unique healthcare approaches being supported by the Pfizer Foundation through its Global Health Innovations Grants (GHIG) program.

Reflections from Uganda: Partnerships to Eliminate Disease
There is nothing more inspiring to me than observing the direct impact that collaboration and partnership can have on communities in need.
Last month, I was fortunate to join Pfizer colleagues and partners on a trip to Moroto, Uganda. We journeyed to this district in the northern part of the country to observe a mass drug administration (MDA) of antibiotics to help treat and prevent trachoma, the world’s leading infectious cause of blindness. The MDA in Moroto was the latest in an expansive global effort to eliminate this neglected tropical disease, which, if left untreated, can cause the eyelids to turn inward so the eyelashes scrape the eyeball, causing excruciating pain and irreversible blindness.

A Collaborative Approach to Solving Global Health Issues
In today’s ever-changing healthcare environment, new and creative solutions are needed to accelerate advances in global health and development. Pfizer is responding to this new global picture by focusing on locally driven and collaborative approaches that aim to break down healthcare access barriers, address the health needs of individuals and support long-term capacity building.

Lessening the Burden of Non-Communicable Diseases
Fundamental to Pfizer’s approach in supporting global health is helping to ensure that individuals have the opportunity to lead healthy lives.

A Holistic Approach to Empowering Health Entrepreneurs
Around the world, health entrepreneurs and social enterprises are pioneering innovative, locally driven solutions that have the potential to transform healthcare for underserved communities. These young organizations are starting small but thinking big, and private sector companies like Pfizer can play an important role in helping them grow. However, we must also realize that, in today’s complex health landscape, successful collaboration requires more than financial support.
