How we work
Every EquiAccess project is built on the same six keystones, and every one of them carries toward the same place: the UN's Sustainable Development Goal 3, healthy lives and well-being for everyone, at every age.
Communities facing barriers on one side. SDG 3 on the other. Six keystones hold the bridge up. Select one to see what it means.
We map hurdles to communities and identify the necessary action.
UN Sustainable Development Goal 3
SDG 3 asks the world to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for everyone, at every age, by 2030. It's the far bank of our bridge. These are the targets our work contributes to.
Cut early deaths from non-communicable diseases, including cancers, by one third through prevention and treatment, and promote mental health and well-being.
Our part. Our breast cancer awareness campaign, and an Indexer that tracks mood and well-being across visits, not only symptoms.
Everyone can reach quality essential health care, and safe, affordable medicines and vaccines, without financial hardship.
Our part. The Indexer brings the first steps of care to people far from a clinic. The map below tracks exactly this target.
Recruit, train and keep more health workers in developing countries, especially the least developed.
Our part. Tools that support community health workers.
