Vital Strategies

Vital Strategies partners global expertise with local leadership to make progress against some of the world's most difficult health challenges. They strengthen health systems with targeted health programs, especially in low- and middle- income countries. The work spans Road Safety, Tobacco Control, Tuberculosis, Data for Health, Maternal and Child Health and Obesity Prevention. They envision a world where every person is protected by a strong public health system.  Vital Strategies is an affiliate of the International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union). Since its foundation as a global scientific organisation in 1920, The Union has drawn from the best evidence and expertise to advance solutions to public health challenges affecting people living in poverty. The Union does that by conducting scientific research, working with governments and other agencies to translate research into better health for people around the world, and delivering projects directly in the field. For close to 100 years, it has been a leader in the fight against some of the world’s biggest killers, including tuberculosis, lung diseases and tobacco use. As an affiliate, Vital Strategies has a close relationship with The Union that allows us to work seamlessly together and unite in the efforts to address public health challenges around the world.
