Wellcome is a global charitable foundation. We want everyone to benefit from science’s potential to improve health and save lives.
We support discovery research into life, health and wellbeing, and we’re taking on three worldwide health challenges: mental health, infectious disease and climate and health.
Research can fill knowledge gaps in combatting diseases, but without understanding the context and making findings usable for policy makers, those most affected will never feel the true impact. Rachael Hore shares why this matters for progress against cholera.
