Overview
Mission
We improve access to essential healthcare for patients by motivating providers to deliver affordable and quality care, enabled by technology.
What it reported doing in 2024
Malaria treatment: the organization's malaria treatment program ensures patients are tested for malaria first and only treated after receiving a positive test result.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 94% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
