Global Health Technologies Coalition

What Global Health Technologies Coalition does

Global Health Technologies Coalition (GHTC) is a nonprofit advocacy coalition founded in 2009 and operated by PATH as its secretariat from the Washington, DC area. It does not develop or sell products; rather, it convenes 55+ member organizations — including nonprofits (PATH, Gates Foundation, CEPI, CARB-X, DNDi, TB Alliance, IVI), academic institutions, and aligned businesses — to advocate for US policy solutions that accelerate the development of and access to vaccines, drugs, diagnostics, and other essential health technologies for global health needs. Its primary constituents are US policymakers (NIH, CDC, USAID, BARDA, Congress) and the broader global health R&D community, with measurable downstream impact delivered through member partnerships such as the nOPV2 polio vaccine (1 billion+ doses delivered) and NEST360 (500,000+ newborn deliveries supported annually).

The coalition's operating model is community-led advocacy rather than commercial. It is funded through membership contributions and donor support, with no disclosed pricing or product revenue. Its go-to-market consists of publishing policy briefs and the Breakthroughs Blog, maintaining an R&D dictionary and the Innovation Interrupted tool (which documents recent US grant terminations), organizing the biennial Innovating for Impact Awards since 2017, and conducting direct engagement with US government agencies and Congressional offices. Distribution runs through its website (ghtcoalition.org) and active social media presence on X, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Bluesky.

GHTC has no proprietary technology, patents, or AI capabilities; its technology footprint is limited to standard web publishing and email/newsletter infrastructure. Its value proposition rests on being the only broad-based coalition singularly focused on advocating for increased and effective US public funding for global health R&D, with a member ecosystem spanning vaccines, drugs, diagnostics, and health technologies across multiple continents.

• Global Health Council: Founded in 1972, Global Health Council is a leading membership organization supporting advocates, implementers, and stakeholders around global health priorities. It is a direct peer — both are membership-driven US-based advocacy coalitions operating in the global health policy space, and GHTC is itself a member of GHC.
• Research!America: Alliance advocating for science, discovery, and innovation to achieve better health by urging Congress to increase funding for NIH, CDC, FDA, and other agencies. Closely comparable as a US-focused advocacy coalition pushing for increased federal R&D funding — overlapping member ecosystems and advocacy targets with GHTC.
• Sabin Vaccine Institute: Leading advocate for expanding vaccine access and uptake globally, advancing vaccine R&D, and amplifying vaccine knowledge. Comparable as a global health advocacy and product development organization with a strong US policy voice; current GHTC member.
• Treatment Action Group (TAG): Independent activist and community-based research and policy think tank fighting to end HIV, TB, and hepatitis C. Comparable as a health R&D policy advocacy organization; a current GHTC member but also a peer in global health advocacy targeting similar policymakers.
• Impact Global Health (formerly Policy Cures Research): Nonprofit research and policy organization behind the G-FINDER database tracking global health R&D funding. Direct peer — produces the evidence base GHTC uses for advocacy and operates in the same global health R&D policy ecosystem; current GHTC member.
• American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH): Largest international scientific organization dedicated to reducing the worldwide burden of tropical infectious diseases. Comparable as a global health R&D–adjacent membership/advocacy organization; a current GHTC member operating in adjacent scientific advocacy.

Regional players

• Washington Global Health Alliance: Alliance strategically connecting 60+ organizational members across sectors in the Pacific Northwest to advance health equity. Comparable multi-stakeholder global health coalition model with strong US policy and member engagement; a current GHTC member.

Broad incumbents

• Public Citizen: Nonprofit consumer advocacy organization with 500,000+ members championing public interest issues including access to medicines and against pharmaceutical monopolies.
