While health spending has increased dramatically around the world, access to quality health services—without the risk of financial hardship—has lagged.
And although health systems increasingly serve as buffers between vulnerable communities and crises, many countries still lack the capacity to meet daily health needs, let alone anticipate, address, and recover from health shocks down the line.
Our Work and Impact
Closing the global health divide requires new tools and strategies to address health inequities. At The Rockefeller Foundation, we are working with a large coalition of partners across sectors to achieve Health for All with a specific emphasis on leveraging data-driven insights to improve decision making and health outcomes on the frontlines of community health.
OUR APPROACH
We envision a world where community health systems everywhere are equipped to apply data-driven decisions to deliver the right health interventions to the right people at the right time.
Precision Public Health
Improving health outcomes through equitable, data-driven health systems in communities around the world.
OVERVIEW
Data and data science are increasingly reshaping nearly all aspects of our lives, including health. However, not everyone is benefiting. While advances like big data and artificial intelligence are beginning to revolutionize health care in high-income countries, they often fail to reach lower-income countries with the greatest need. It’s time to change that. Our $100 million Precision Public Health Initiative will make community health more proactive and responsive to patient and population needs, with the goal of saving the lives of at least 6 million women and children by 2030.
