The decisions being made about healthcare today will shape the health of populations for decades to come.
No single organisation can answer them alone. That is precisely why we founded the Change Initiative.
View our Current Projects
The Change Initiative currently brings together leading organisations from across industry, academia, and civil society to address two of the most pressing challenges in global health policy.
Our US Policy Horizon Series is examining how landmark American pricing reforms, from the Inflation Reduction Act to the Most Favored Nation policy, are reshaping pharmaceutical innovation and access worldwide.
Our Financing Prevention programme is tackling the persistent underinvestment in preventive health, developing actionable models that can shift resources upstream before illness takes hold.
Both programmes are grounded in independent, evidence-led research, designed not just to inform debate, but to change it.
