It’s time for that to change. For too long, we have worked in siloes, often seeking to solve the same problem as others, whilst ignoring their work. OHE’s latest programme is turning this on its head.
Fragmented, inequitable, strained. Healthcare globally is in disarray.
Crises are compounding, from AMR to massive workforce gaps, and from global warming to soaring obesity rates.
It’s time for that to change. For too long, we have worked in siloes, often seeking to solve the same problem as others, whilst ignoring their work. OHE’s latest programme is turning this on its head.
The Change Initiative is a not-for-profit research fund, addressing the most critical health challenges of our time, from combatting climate change to advancing prevention efforts, the Initiative is breaking down the barriers which exist between stakeholders.
Key aspects of the Initiative include:
Global participation: The initiative is forging partnerships across and between sectors, including healthcare providers, industry, policymakers, researchers, funders, and advocates, to contribute their expertise.
A focus on equity: The programme prioritises societal needs and develops the evidence for policies and solutions that promote high-quality, inclusive care.
Addressing environmental impacts: By exploring the intersection of healthcare and environmental sustainability, the initiative is helping to advance sustainable healthcare practices worldwide.
The Change Initiative's approach offers a framework for tackling these complex challenges and working towards a more equitable and sustainable healthcare future.
We invite partners from around the world to join us in this mission. Whether you are a healthcare provider, policymaker, researcher, funder, or advocate, your voice and expertise are vital to shaping our future.
Join us in making change happen.

How does it work?
Priority Global Research Challenges
Sustainability
Health systems are contributing to significant environmental pollution, generating 5% of global carbon emissions. We are exploring this critical area, identifying effective and innovative solutions, ensuring a health future for our communities and our planet.
Prevention of ill health is widely considered to be the responsibility of health care systems. Through the Initiative, we are demonstrating the scale of the financial, health and environmental benefits of a shift to a full and effective prevention agenda and where and to whom these would accrue.
Reimagining Prevention for a Healthier, More Prosperous Society
In this report, we highlight the significance of prevention as a cost-effective and often cost-saving investment for public sector resources. Prevention, covering primary, secondary, and tertiary measures, can help to reduce ill health, improve healthcare capacity, and increase wider economic growth.
How health economics is redefining climate-resilient healthcare
In a new insight piece published by the World Economic Forum we explore the role health economics can play in identifying green solutions for the healthcare sector. Despite being a sector with one of the greatest greenhouse gas emissions globally, the impact the healthcare sector is having on the climate crisis is often overlooked.
OHE in partnership with organisations around the world is helping the sector to address its environmental impact whilst maintaining the delivery of quality care. In this piece, we demonstrate how, health economics is playing a crucial role in advancing sustainable practices, helping to improve both the efficiency and sustainability of healthcare delivery.
