Global Platform for Access to Care

Over 80 percent of populations in emerging markets remain without access to basic care. Each year, 100 million people fall into poverty due to catastrophic healthcare expenditures.  The ambitious Sustainable Development Goals call for universal health coverage (UHC) by 2030. To achieve maternal and child care coverage in low- and middle-income countries, it would cost an estimated injection of $60 billion annually over the next decade and $75 billion annually over the following decade. Neither governments nor private organizations can foot this price tag alone.  

There are only a handful of successful commercially-viable public-private cooperation models in emerging economies (outside of one-off corporate social responsibility projects) that ensure sustainable access to care. There are no stakeholders in the global health space mobilizing the private sector to address the UHC aspects of the SDGs.  
 
The Global Platform for Access to Care project was designed to create an approach for linking government needs with private sector resources and donor funding opportunities. We envision such a matching can happen in a virtual marketplace.
