Health Unit Vision Statement:
We seek a world in which all people are able to achieve their rights to health and well-being and work to this end through efforts to foster households' and communities' ability to identify, prevent and manage risks to health.
Health Unit
Health is a critical part of CARE's work to help people overcome poverty. As communities solve their most threatening problems, they are able to embrace new economic and educational opportunities. Our health projects include reproductive health, children's health, infectious disease, polio eradication, and water, sanitation and environmental health. CARE's Health Unit staff is responsible for:
- Developing and diffusing policies, technical tools and best practices
- Providing technical support and training to country offices
- Serving as the technical resource in matters of public policy and public education
- Managing new organizational health initiatives, such as emerging infectious diseases and reproductive health for refugees
- Securing funding for health programs
Every day, CARE works with communities to achieve lasting victories over poverty. Click here to read one of our solutions stories.
