Closing the Global Health Divide

From its earliest days more than a century ago, The Rockefeller Foundation has led the way to improve medical outcomes for populations in need. Its investments established the first schools of public health and the global campaign against hookworm; seeded the development of the yellow fever vaccine; supported translational research for tools ranging from penicillin to polio; helped create the field of molecular biology, and spurred AIDS vaccine development. Most recently, we catalyzed and accelerated action on Universal Health Coverage globally.

1/2 of the world's population lack access to essential health services

12 million mothers and children are at risk of dying if we fail to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3

18 million health workers will be needed by 2030 in low- and lower-middle-income countries

Data Equity for Health Equity

Despite this progress, countless deaths from preventable causes continue to occur in resource-poor places around the world. In those places, health systems fail to identify a population’s needs or to deliver the appropriate intervention swiftly enough. The problem is rooted in the very social and systemic inequities that drive health outcomes, such as access to health care and educational resources, and the proper and timely use of data.

The Foundation is working to overcome these deep structural deficiencies in order to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal on Health (SDG3), and eliminate the health inequities that challenge so many parts of the world.

Only 30% individuals who are reported for illness or death in low- income countries make it into district & state reports.

Of those who make it, 70% of their data is still recorded on paper—causing inability to action in near-real time due to human error and lagged data

EGMONT Institute: Use Connectivity to Strengthen Multilateral Cooperation in the EU’s Neighbourhood

Use Connectivity to Strengthen Multilateral Cooperation in the EU’s Neighbourhood By Sven Biscop (15 September 2020) In Commentaries Asia-Pacific , EU and strategic partners , EU strategy and foreign policy , European defence / NATO To strengthen multilateralism in their own neighbourhood, Germany and the EU should pursue connectivity strategies with their Eastern and Southern neighbours. These could create the links between the EU’s neighbours that previous partnership agreements have failed to establish. They should include political and security dimensions for states to feel connected to the EU in a political sense.

The ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION/ NATIONAL COVID-19 TESTING ACTION PLAN

The ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION NATIONAL COVID-19 TESTING ACTION PLAN Pragmatic steps to reopen our workplaces and our communities Foreword to National Covid-19 Testing Action Plan Covid-19 has infected hundreds of thousands of Americans and affected millions more around the world. Across America, shuttered schools have put 30 million children at risk of going hungry. Closed businesses have left more than 20 million workers without income. And while locking down our economy is crucial for saving lives now, it has tremendous consequences for the poorest among us – as people of color and low-income Americans are disproportionately losing livelihoods, and lives. In the face of an ineffective nationally-coordinated response, insufficient data, and inadequate amounts of protective gear and testing, we need an exit plan. Testing is our way out of this crisis. Instead of ricocheting between an unsustainable shutdown and a dangerous, uncertain return to normal
