Improving Health Systems Performance, Development Aid and Inclusion for Better Health
Our Mission
The Center for Healthy Development (CHD) is a non-profit and independent technical organization with global outreach and partnerships.  

​Our mission is to energize the healthy and inclusive development of countries, families and individuals, including children and youth with fragile beginnings globally.
​
Our passion is to create a better world through improving health conditions, preventing poverty due to ill health and ensuring dignified care and inclusion for all, especially the most vulnerable.

We do so through policy translation and through providing support and advice to global and national leaders and communities on:
  • Actionable policy, strategy, and program advice, with a sharp focus on feasible solutions following evidence-based diagnostics. Solutions are the how-to that must follow the what-to-do determined by diagnostics and policies for leaders to achieve impact.
  • Capacity building to ensure long term sustainability and continuous improvement of systems and teams performance and capabilities, including hands-on education and training.

​We promote health systems strengthening, a multi-sectoral global development approach to health, as the cornerstone to achieve sustainable universal access to health care and other key programs and services to improve health outcomes, financial protection, dignity of care and inclusion.

We are a values-based organization. Our beliefs and values guide all our collaboration, from whom we serve to how we contribute globally and how we grow together.
​
We aspire to create a space for policy dialogue and innovation on health systems and multi-sectorial approaches to health globally.
