ACCESS Health International

What ACCESS Health International does

ACCESS Health International is a 501(c)(3) non-profit think tank, advisory group, and implementation partner founded in 2007 in Hyderabad, India and incorporated in Delaware, USA in 2008. The organization works on health systems strengthening across five regions (South Asia, Southeast Asia, MENA, United States, with former presence in China, Philippines, Sweden, and Morocco) through three core workstreams: research, capacity building, and technical support, organized thematically across Health Financing, Healthcare Provisioning, Governance, Supplying, Health Information Systems, People's Health, Relations, and Communications.

Its core deliverables are intellectual and advisory rather than software products: 125+ publications (including books, reports, Lancet articles, and opinion pieces), nine branded networks and programs (GLC4HSR, Asia-Pacific Cardiovascular Disease Alliance, Stop Hep Alliance, Health Informatics Network, India Health Systems Collaborative, Fintech for Health, Safe Care Saving Lives, Modern Aging, Joint Learning Network for UHC), and direct advisory engagements with national and state governments on flagship health schemes such as India's Pradhan Mantri Jan Aarogya Yojana and Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission. Customer engagement is concentrated among governments, healthcare providers, development partners, and private-sector healthcare firms across 25+ countries.

Revenue is generated through a portfolio of grants and donations from governments, foundations, and development partners, complemented by paid advisory and consulting services, and book and report sales (including Amazon bestsellers). Pricing for advisory services is quote-based and negotiated per engagement. The organization is governed by a board chaired by founder Prof. William A. Haseltine and led operationally by CEO Dr. N. Krishna Reddy, with offices in Hyderabad, Singapore, New Delhi, Dubai, Cairo, and the United States.

• Management Sciences for Health (MSH): Non-profit providing technical assistance and capacity building for health systems, governance, and pharmaceutical management in LMICs — directly comparable to ACCESS Health's governance, supplying, and capacity-building workstreams.
