About The Foundation

There is the need for a Foundation in the Americas to join together efforts by different actors in the health sector to combine forces with the Ministries of Health to support health activities to improve the public health in the region. At this time it is difficult for governments to partner with the private sector directly due to potential conflict of interest. A Foundation will become a more natural partner to governments and will allow for the grouping of various private sector entities to dispel the idea of conflict of interest.
