Fundamental Healthcare
Half of the world's population lacks access to essential health services
Where you are born should not determine access to healthcare. Billions of people are either too poor to afford basic healthcare or do not live close enough to medical centers or providers to access 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.
This not only puts the individual’s health at risk, but also the stability of communities, societies, and economies.
The AJA Foundation has invested over $1.8 million in organizations delivering quality healthcare in communities in developing countries that would otherwise not be served. In addition to prevention, typical health services include maternal, newborn, and pediatric medicine and the treatment of common diseases.
As a result, babies and their mothers are healthier, and many common medical conditions are easily treated or prevented altogether.
The Goal
To ensure anyone, regardless of geographic location or financial situation, has access to the healthcare they need to thrive.
