ACCESS Health International was created to address the issues of access to
high quality affordable health in low middle and high income countries.
In the United States, Europe, Japan and other industrialized countries, the cost
of healthcare is rising at an unsustainable rate. The choice is clear, either
ration and restrict care or improve efficiency.
|
|
|
In low and middle income countries, where resources are limited, access to
high quality health depends on efficient delivery. We believe that access to
high quality affordable healthcare is a right for people everywhere and that
efficient health care services a necessity.

|
ACCESS Health International identifies and documents best practices in delivery of high quality affordable healthcare and medicines. We analyze what makes these systems work. We also identify enabling government policies and payment practices. Our goal is to transfer knowledge of best practices in healthcare both within and between countries by publishing the results of our work, by holding conferences, by participating in international meetings, by preparing curricula for both public health and management programs and hosting site visits. We also assist others in implementing solutions on their own.

|
To date most of the systems we have identified as providing high quality
affordable health solutions are in Central and South India, a region rich in technology and
that has larger unmet medical needs. We believe that practices developed here are applicable to
countries of all income levels. Our offices are located in Hyderabad on the Campus of the Indian
School of Business and in Washington DC. ACCESS Health International was created through support from the William A. Haseltine Charitable Trust Foundation and the Lind Family Trust.
