MCD Global Health’s 2024 Annual Report focuses on how our programs unlock the potential of the communities that we work in and the health workforce that we work with.

From addressing health inequities to developing data-driven solutions, engaging communities, leveraging public-private partnerships, collaborating across sectors, and using innovation and technology, our work in 2024 helped improve the health and well-being of people around the world.

Unlocking potential is not merely about discovering hidden talents, but about cultivating a growth mindset. It is a belief that abilities can be developed through effort, learning, and resilience. This report is filled with stories of how our programs helped communities, individuals, and health workers unlock their potential to improve health outcomes:
