Celebrating MacKenzie Scott’s investment toward our 2023-2025 Strategic Plan: Leveraging Technology to Reach Universal Health Coverage
April 11, 2023 – Chief Executive Officer Dr. Krishna Jafa announced that Medic launched a three-year, $40 million strategic plan, with a $5 million leading gift from MacKenzie Scott. Through this investment, Ms. Scott demonstrates her confidence in Medic’s vision of a world in which community health workers are supported as they provide community-based care, universal health coverage is a reality, and health is a secured human right for everyone, everywhere. Medic is deeply grateful to receive this transformational gift which will play a critical role in achieving our ambitious goals for revolutionizing digital community health systems.
With our robust community of collaborators and partners by our side, now is the time to redouble our commitments and advance our work.
Over the next three years Medic will triple the number of users leveraging the Community Health Toolkit (CHT), enabling 120,000 health workers to support care an additional 100 million times through CHT tools and workflows. We’ll do this while increasing the number of governments that select the CHT to scale their national digital community health systems from 6 to 10, and by ensuring 99% up time for CHT-based apps so health workers can always access the tools they need to serve their communities. Together, we will reimagine how health is delivered, supported, and resourced in underserved communities around the world.
With MacKenzie’s Scott’s gift, alongside the support of our bold and steadfast philanthropic partners, we are more than 25 percent to our $40 million campaign goal. We invite you to join us in this significant moment, as we look to catalyze the momentum of our new strategy and ambitious goals. Together, we have an opportunity to support a digital health revolution that can benefit hundreds of thousands of health workers and improve healthcare for millions of families.
