Health
Formula for Good Health
People should be able to live as well as they can for as long as they can. In pursuit of that goal, Atlantic helped expand access to quality and affordable health care, especially for people for whom it has been out of reach. We also supported efforts to recruit and train medical personnel, made substantial investments for new hospitals and care centers, and encouraged government policies leading to better health outcomes.
Where Did Atlantic Focus on Health?
Our health work spanned the globe—Cuba, across Ireland, South Africa, United States, and Vietnam.
