2023 Annual Report
Letter from the Executive Director
In 2023, our work reached a critical milestone – we touched more than 133 million patient lives in more than 185 countries around the world. We are humbled to see the reach of our work across the globe and are deeply grateful to our supporters, partners, staff, and champions who continue to support us in our mission to save lives and reduce suffering.
We know that this level of spread would be unachievable without our commitment to meticulous human-centered design and rigorous testing and iteration. With each of our tools, our goal is widespread adoption. But, at the heart of any effective spread is an effective tool. We center design and testing processes from the outset to ensure thatevery innovation we produce has the potential to make a meaningful impact. We aim to create prototypes that function effectively in the real world, on the frontlines of health care, and we rigorously test those tools to ensure their reliability.
In this year’s annual report, you’ll find numerous examples of this process in action. We are actively designing new tools to help low birthweight infants around the world survive and thrive; we are testing modalities of care that will bring acute, hospital-level care to patients in their homes, regardless of where they live; and we are building our pipeline of innovations to meet the challenges of our health care system today and into the future. At the same time, we are forging ahead to build global partnerships, leverage digital technologies, and cultivate relationships with implementation partners to spread our existing tools to patients and clinicians around the world.
In the ever-evolving landscape of health care systems, we know that our work is never done. We’ve reached more than 133 million lives and will continue to design and test solutions that work in the real world to reach the millions more in need of access to safe, dignified, high-quality health care.
