About the Organization
Vital Strategies is a US-based international public health organization working in more than 70 countries to address important and challenging health issues. We develop and oversee programs to strengthen public health systems and address leading causes of morbidity and mortality, providing expertise in project implementation and management, strategic communications, epidemiology and surveillance, and other core public health capacities.
Join Vital Strategies and you might find a team of lawyers advising the Ministry of Health in Nigeria on COVID-19 response. A public health advisor working with a Ministry of Transportation official to redesign traffic intersections in Colombia. A doctor conducting clinical trials on tuberculosis in Mongolia. A journalist designing a social media campaign to curb trans-fat consumption in India.
Because of Vitals’ comprehensive approach, and a steadfast commitment to quality programs, the organization has experienced explosive growth in the past five years, from $50 million in 2014 to $150+ million in 2020 (exclusive of significant COVID-19 related funding). Vital Strategies is also growing and expanding its global footprint–currently with regional offices in New York, NY, Jinan, China, Paris, France, Sao Paulo, Brazil, Singapore and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (2020). As Vital expands its operations, so does its visibility, reputation for excellence and impact.
