The Health Finance Institute (HFI) is a US-based nonprofit focused on designing, testing, and scaling financing instruments and pathways to accelerate funding for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) worldwide. By convening expertise from health and finance, HFI aims to broker partnerships across public and private sectors to expand fiscal space for NCD prevention and care, addressing the global underinvestment in actions to combat these conditions. The organization situates itself within the international trade and development arena and emphasizes the broader economic impact of NCDs, including their role in amplifying health and financial system burdens during health crises such as COVID-19. Based in the United States, HFI draws on decades of experience across government, international organizations, nonprofits, the private sector, and academia to pursue innovative funding mechanisms and pilot projects, including initiatives like social impact bonds for NCD care in specific contexts. Recent collaborations highlighted include partnerships with Rodekors and CityCancerChallenge Foundation to explore blended finance approaches for NCD-related care, illustrating HFI’s role in advancing financial solutions for health outcomes.
