Global Health Action

Global Health Action engages communities around the world to improve the health and well-being of women, children and adolescents. We build communities of practice to listen to those most impacted by health and development policies and practices. We build capacity for local and global multi-sectoral partnerships connecting local to global and global to local. We provide trainings and practical programming for ministries of health, faith based health systems and civil society.

Quality of health services is critical to achieving universal health coverage (UHC). Overall, between 5.7 and 8.4 million deaths are attributed to poor quality care each year in low- and middle-income countries, accounting for up to 15% of overall deaths in these countries. Improving access to health services must go hand-in-hand with improving the quality of these services. Further, poor quality health services - particularly unsafe care - can decrease people's trust in the health system.
