Ending Diseases of Poverty through Delivery, Discovery and Advocacy


We Measure Success in Lives Saved, in Health Restored

At the Global Health Committee, we combine medical care and outreach, basic and clinical scientific research, and advocacy to combat tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS and poverty in some of the poorest countries in the world. With our unique blend of delivery and discovery, we respond to health emergencies today, while laying the groundwork for tomorrow’s new treatments.
