United Action for
Accessible Healthcare
9 charities
Help make healthcare accessible for everyone
Accessible healthcare is a luxury for most of the world’s population. Finding solutions to health problems can be lengthy, complex, costly, and demanding. Our United Action bundles the very best performing charities so you can donate to several solutions at once.
The problem
We are facing several health challenges across the world. Accessible healthcare is a luxury the majority of the world’s population doesn’t have.
Finding solutions to health problems can be lengthy, complex and demanding. Past or present solutions and strategies do not always work.
Health systems are facing major challenges due to pricing of pharmaceuticals, and the research and testing of new drugs and treatments is a complex process. Public health services do not always provide the care that people require.
Further, people who require care face challenges linked to access, money, social stigma, location and lack of sufficient information.
Solutions
Healthcare needs a much larger pool of innovative solutions and a more agile way to effectively respond to challenges.
National governments, the international community, the nonprofit sector and the for-profit industry, including medicine manufacturers, should play a role in improving health systems and access to medicine, especially in low and middle-income countries.
The organisations below each deal with a significant aspect of human healthcare such as sharing information, participating in research or the distribution of care, treatment and medicine.

Donate to this United Action to make your money as effective as possible. Our research team rigorously evaluates each charity, and curates collections of the top performing among them, so you can tackle the same urgent problem with different solutions.
