Health is becoming an increasingly global issue, as recognised in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs provide a clear and inspiring vision of a shared and sustainably developed world, with no one left behind. We share this vision and have been working for the last decade to realise it.
Health partnerships play a crucial role in facilitating the flow of ideas, information and innovation. At their core they inspire, equip and support health professionals to make a difference and to develop new relationships, skills and capabilities.
For the last ten years we have been at the leading edge of this approach, drawing specifically on the expertise of Cambridge’s world-leading healthcare community to support projects in Botswana, El Salvador, Myanmar and many other countries; and bringing back fresh insights, motivation and skills to enrich and develop the UK’s health sector, policies and practice.
