The George Institute for Global Health

Five billion people have no reliable access to essential health care. Heart attack and stroke are the world’s leading cause of death and in the next decade 100 million people will die from chronic diseases before they reach 60, while another 20 million people will die from road injuries.

Change healthcare and you change the world

The George Institute for Global Health is a health and medical research institute whose mission is to improve the health of millions of people worldwide. With projects in more than 50 countries, they have raised over 500 million dollars for global health research since 1999.

Their work is:

• Preventing heart disease in India
• Improving healthcare for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians
• Closing healthcare gaps in China
• Making roads safer around the world
• Preventing the complications of diabetes
• Changing decades old thinking about intensive care
• Improving outcomes among stroke survivors
• Using mobile technology to make healthcare accessible worldwide

Across the world 20 people die prematurely every minute. Help us find ways for more people to live longer, healthier lives.
