HEALTH NUTRITION & WASH

Maximising Impact of Health Investments

We are working towards building resilient health systems to provide affordable
and quality healthcare, especially for the vulnerable.

CAPABILITIES

Health, Nutrition and Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (HNWASH)

A productive, meaningful life and healthy economies depend on access to quality and affordable health care. However, in many developing countries, this continues to remain a challenge along with, balanced diet, safe water, and basic sanitation, especially for the poor and disadvantaged.

We understand that investments in HNWASH, with a focus on the underserved, can transform people’s lives. Building resilient
health systems to provide people with sustainable, affordable, and quality healthcare is the cornerstone of our strategy
for achieving good impact. We work with national and state governments, development partners, civil society organisations,
private sector, and other key stakeholders through an evidence-based approach to strengthen health systems, improve the supply
chain, implement digital health solutions, advocate social and behaviour change, and address healthcare financing challenges.
