Gxxxxx recognises that the development of innovative medicines for life-threatening diseases is only one aspect of improving public health. We also invest in programs that promote prevention, strengthen healthcare infrastructure, and provide education and social and financial support to the most vulnerable communities around the world.
By enabling access to medicines, challenging assumptions, fighting stigma and collaborating with partners worldwide, Gxxxxx works not simply to treat some of the world’s most challenging public health threats – but to eliminate them.
Gxxxxx's work to improve access to healthcare now brings medicines to an estimated 11.5 million people, spans four diseases, reaches more than 135 countries and is the primary focus of more than 100 Gxxxxx employees.
Whilst advancing global health is a central part of our mission, we know we can’t achieve this alone. That’s why we partner with more than 2,000 NGOs, governments and academic institutions to enhance our collective impact. Together, we raise awareness, reduce stigma and deliver frontline services and care for the most vulnerable. In line with this spirt of partnership and collaboration, Gxxxxx is pleased to provide the Advancing Global Health Scholarship.
