Our unique peer-lending model creates a social support network and a culture of trust to empower clients to achieve financial independence. Director Grameen Healthcare 2007 – Present (7 years) The mission of Grameen Healthcare (GH) is to establish sustainable best practices in a broad range of Healthcare services for a broad market including the poor. GH will enable the poor to be self sufficient in addressing their Healthcare needs such that they can accept but not require outside assistance. This mission will be developed in a number of ways that complement one another: GH will design and develop a bottoms up Healthcare infrastructure that can take lessons from successful efforts around the world and improve upon them to deliver the highest quality Healthcare, in an efficient and sustainable manner, primarily to the poorest of the poor but also to the non poor, who may pay a little more than the target population. To achieve these goals, GH will coordinate and support a global effort to research and develop various existing and new delivery models and best practices on an ongoing basis, creating a conduit of critical information and insight for those working to achieve the goals of sustainable and high-quality Healthcare for all.
