The Pfizer Foundation aims to improve access to healthcare within historically marginalized communities and strengthen health systems in low- and middle-income countries. We are focused in three areas: global health and health system strengthening, crisis and humanitarian response and colleague and community engagement.

Since 2016, the Global Health Innovation Grants (GHIG) program has supported community-based initiatives improving quality of care and strengthening health systems to address infectious diseases in low- and middle-income countries. The GHIG program is helping communities reduce child mortality, improve appropriate diagnosis and treatment for infectious diseases, support systems that combat vaccine preventable illness and better prepare for new and emerging infectious diseases.

Building on what we already know, The Pfizer Foundation is redefining the way we fight infectious disease to help protect people who have been marginalized in the U.S. and around the world. The Pfizer Foundation works to address today and tomorrow’s biggest health challenges in infectious diseases, including a specific focus on building and strengthening systems that combat vaccine preventable illness.
