Fundamental Healthcare
Half of the world’s population lacks access to essential health services
This not only puts the individual's health at risk, but also the stability of communities, societies, and economies.
Billions of people do not live close enough to medical centers or providers to access basic healthcare or are too poor to afford it. As a result, far too many medical conditions that are routinely treated in the developed world go untreated in the developing world. The same is true for prevention.
Because where you are born should not determine access to healthcare, the AJA Foundation has invested over $1.8 million in organizations delivering quality healthcare in developing countries. In addition to prevention, health services include maternal, newborn, and pediatric medicine and treatment of common diseases.
The Goal
To ensure anyone, regardless of geographic location or financial situation, has access to the healthcare they need to thrive.
