Wemos believes that everyone, everywhere, is entitled to access to health and we are committed to achieving and protecting this, in the Netherlands. and in low- and middle-income countries. In our mission, we focus on three core programmes: human resources for health, finance for health, and access to medicines. In each of these three, we base ourselves on evidence derived from close collaboration with research institutes, networks and partner organizations worldwide. Human resources for health Worldwide, health workers are unevenly distributed. We advocate sustainable and fair health worker policy. Finance for health The international community can and should contribute to the strengthening of countries’ health budgets. We call for strengthening the pool of public resources for health. Aid for Trade Development assistance in healthcare in low- and middle-income countries should serve public health goals, but this is not always the case. We aim to address the impact of projects involving private for-profit companies in the health sector. Access to medicines Medicines should be accessible for everyone, everywhere in the world. We focus on fair pricing of medicines, the development of medicines that address unmet medical needs, responsible licensing and we advocate conditions for public investments in new medicines. For almost 40 years we have been advocating health for all by analyzing global policy and by addressing governments. Visit our website for more information: www.wemos.org
