Overview

Mission

EqualHealth builds critical consciousness and collective action globally, in the pursuit of health equity for all.

What it reported doing in 2024

Campaign Against Racism(CAR): The CAR is a network of 17 active chapters in 10 different countries. Each chapter declares a strategic goal aligned to addressing upstream issues that contribute to poor health outcomes directly affecting their communities and commits to be a part of the collective campaign with support from the CAR organizers. Chapters engage together and share experiences around social medicine praxis. To date, the campaign has at least 2000 people on its listserv and social media platforms. CAR chapters and members also collaborate across common themes through working groups focusing on key issues. Last year CAR partnered with at least three US based academic institutions which included hosting webinars for health professionals and support in person conferences for Health professionals. These activities benefitted hundreds of American and international health professionals. The CAR team also supported health professionals at international conferences outside the USA . The team also made a presentation at a United Nations forum in Geneva joining global partners in a continued efforts to improve health outcomes of most vulnerable groups globally. In addition to webinars and convenings the CAR team also supported one of its chapters in submitting a case for publication in the Lancet journal . In October 2024 about 40 international health professionals and community met in Knoxville Tennessee which was the first in person convening after lifting of travel restrictions due to the Covid -19. This was an opportunity for them to network and explore opportunities for international collaboration.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
