We are a Global Health Think Tank that provides the space for innovation in health and encourages dialogue and collaboration. JLI challenges the status quo with new perspectives and innovative approaches in health. Healthcare is a public good, but especially in developing countries, the public sector cannot provide quality healthcare to all. This drives JLI and makes us push where others won’t and don’t. We believe pragmatism, science and activism should be combined: we need to be confrontational and convincing at the same time, by displaying evidence from practice and research.
JLI’s mission is to accelerate human development through innovations that strengthen systems for health and health financing. History has taught us that building these systems, grounded in trust and solidarity, is a long-term endeavor.
Our Agenda
Using data in health to benefit society.
We are searching for solutions to mitigate risks and guarantee benefits of sharing health data are for the people.
01
Finding inclusive health financing models.
We rethink traditional financing models to make access to quality health care more inclusive.
02
Putting people in control of their own health needs.
Provide the individual and communities with tools to manage their own health needs and care.
03
“Data ownership needs to belong to the patient. Where the patient owns the records. We need to remember that data comes from the Latin word giving. Data is not given, it is stolen. We should not talk of data, we should talk of stolen information.“
Marcel Levi, President- NWO (Dutch Research Council)
