The Rockefeller Foundation has long championed UHC, from investing in health care accessibility through the Transforming Health Systems initiative over a decade ago, to its ongoing efforts to end the current pandemic and prevent future ones through the Pandemic Prevention Institute.
Underlying these efforts is the smart use of data to save lives. As the pieces below highlight, gathering the kind of information needed to detect, track and respond to pandemics requires global collaboration, outreach, and trust between governments, scientists, organizations, and communities around the world.
