Our Why
Managing the growing threat from infectious diseases and AMR is one of the greatest challenges of our time, with millions of lives and trillions of dollars avoidably at risk.
If we get this right – fewer lives will be lost, fewer communities devastated, and we will have a more resilient global health system where:
Outbreaks will be detected and contained more quickly
Diagnostics and treatments will be more accurate
And technologies will be deployed equitably, no matter where you live
This is urgent, it is the time for bold action, for a global plan to proactively take control of infectious diseases.
Partner with us to save lives and together, let’s revolutionise infectious disease management.
