According to the World Health Organization insufficient health facilities, medical supplies and health care workers result in millions of unnecessary deaths per year. Timmy Global Health is working to address barriers to care by focusing on providing more efficient funding of health systems and increased access to physicians.

Timmy’s goal of connecting people to primary care aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 3: to ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages. We do this by increasing health financing and recruitment, development, training and retention of at least one healthcare professional in every region we work in.

By providing financial and logistical support to local clinics, we capacitate treatment of communicable and non-communicable disease at a larger scale by connecting people to resources such as health screenings, medication, specialty care and preventative services. We are also committed to the education and training of Community Health Workers to strengthen the work of these local clinics and ensure that patients are supported within their communities. .

Through this work, we hope to see a decreased prevalence and incidence of diseases as well as an increased community engagement and understanding of the health systems in their region.
