USA Healthcare Alliance

What USA Healthcare Alliance does

USA Healthcare Alliance (USAHA), legally USAHA, L.L.C., is a Washington, DC-based trade organization founded in 2014 that connects U.S. healthcare companies with overseas healthcare infrastructure opportunities. Its constituency comprises more than 100 individuals from over 80 healthcare organizations spanning medical technology, health IT, management consulting, university health systems, financial institutions, architecture firms, health insurance providers, and healthcare facility management companies. Membership requires roughly 50% U.S.-based employees, a U.S.-resident CEO, and either existing export activity or willingness to export; revenue is generated through constituency/membership fees, with pricing not publicly disclosed.

USAHA does not build or sell proprietary technology products. Its core offering is a relationship- and event-driven facilitation service that leverages strategic partnerships with four U.S. government agencies — the International Trade Administration (ITA), the Export-Import Bank (EXIM), the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), and the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) — to create preferential access to foreign governments, multilateral institutions (World Bank, CSIS), and counterpart trade bodies such as the Africa Healthcare Federation. The organization maintains an advisory board of senior executives from Deloitte, Medtronic, Microsoft, GE Healthcare, Mayo Clinic, Jacobs, Gensler, Optum/UHG, and others, which provides strategic guidance and credibility.

Operationally, USAHA runs on a small staff (1–10 employees) and executes through hosted panels, ministerial roundtables, webinars, conferences, and constituent briefings across emerging markets including India, Africa (Kenya, South Africa), Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia), the Middle East (UAE), the Caribbean (Guyana), and Mexico. Notable deal-flow facilitation includes supporting constituent 19Labs in securing a USTDA grant for rural telemedicine deployment in southern Mexico.
