Wemos Foundation
Wemos envisages a world in which every person can realize his or her right to the highest attainable standard of health. Millions of people in developing countries are trapped in the vicious circle of poverty and ill health. Wemos wants to break this and structurally improve the health situation in developing countries. Wemos distinguishes the following three strategies:
- Advocacy: Wemos promotes policies that support national health systems contributing to the structural improvement of people’s health.
