Venture Strategies for Health and Development is a small nonprofit based in the United States that operates in the international development arena. It grounds its work in scientific evidence about solvable health challenges and leverages local market dynamics to reach large populations. The organization applies market-informed, business-like approaches to identify and scale interventions that address health needs at scale. Its focus is on making high-quality, affordable medicines not under patent available to low-income populations by coordinating with medical leaders, government officials, and pharmaceutical manufacturers and by aligning distribution with market mechanisms. The effort addresses gaps in government health services and reduces the out-of-pocket costs that poorer people in developing countries must bear, within the international development space.
