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.
A reimagined global health system can shift the focus from charitable goals to local priorities. John-Arne Røttingen, CEO at Wellcome, shares the urgent need for reform and how the 78th World Health Assembly has been a moment to build momentum.
