The TeamOur Global Health and Gender Equality Divisions harnesses advances in science and technology to save lives in poor countries. We focus on the health problems that have a major impact in developing countries but get too little attention and funding. Where proven tools exist, we support sustainable ways to improve their delivery. Where they don’t, we are uniquely positioned to invest in research and development of new interventions, such as vaccines, drugs, diagnostics as well as vector control, contraceptives and nutrition. The Global Health division focuses on interventions in HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, neglected tropical diseases, enteric and diarrheal diseases and pneumonia while the Gender Equality division focuses on interventions in maternal and newborn nutrition and health as well as in women’s health in general.
The Integrated Portfolio Management Team (IPM) in the Global Health division is tasked with maximizing the health impact of our product development portfolio which is similar in size to the largest pharmaceutical companies. We do this by assessing the value/impact and the risk of most products in our R&D pipeline. Cost effectiveness and health impact analyses form the basis of these assessments.
