In 2011, HCWH’s Founder and President Gray Cohen, and a group who work on global health—all Skoll Awardees for Social Entrepreneurship —met at the Skoll World Forum in Oxford. What began as an informal meeting has grown into a collaboration that is developing a collective vision for improving healthcare delivery.
This small group of leaders represented disruption: the innovative models they individually espoused and were scaling held powerful evidence for the potential of an expanded and more effective healthcare delivery systems. They also produced a working paper that presents their view of needed transformations in the current health system and current successful expanded healthcare business models.
This document places HCWH's work in a larger context. It demonstrates both on-the-ground and at-scale, in communities across the world, that broadening what it means to deliver quality healthcare can improve health outcomes while more efficiently leveraging our limited health resources.
