Health Programmes in Save the Children UK

This document presents SCUK Health Programmes Capacity Statement including our strategy and approach. Our global portfolio of health programmes helps advance our universal health coverage (UHC) agenda by tackling specific diseases that affect children disproportionately in low-income settings, strengthening community-based primary health care, introducing lifesaving approaches, vaccines and therapies, strengthening systems for health and using novel approaches in fragile contexts, generating demand for quality health services and an enabling environment for positive practices, advocating for positive changes in health policy, promoting practical social inclusion for health, child rights and challenging inequities, and carrying out high-impact research to inform policy and implementation. Our flagship projects include the INSPIRING programme, funded by GSK with a budget of £ 7.5million (2019-2023); Stop Diarrheoa Initiative (SDI), funded by Reckitt Benkiser with a budget of £ 5.5million for Nigeria and £ 3million for India (2014-2018); BORESHA: Accelerating Reduction in Maternal and Newborn Mortality in vulnerable and marginalised counties in Kenya, funded by Glaxo Smith Kline (2014-2017) with a value £4 million; strengthening routine immunization in Ethiopia, funded by GSK (2016-2019; Phase 2 until 2022) with a value of £500,000; among others.
