INDIANAPOLIS -- Eli Lilly and Company announced a plan Tuesday to increase access to quality health care and to improve long-term health for millions of people worldwide. Lilly has set a goal to reach 30 million people by 2030.
The goal includes a new five-year, $90 million investment in the Lilly Global Health Partnership which will improve access to treatment for diabetes, cancer and tuberculosis.
"In far too many places around the world, a lack of timely diagnosis and access to quality care prevents people and communities from flourishing," said global health expert Paul Farmer, M.D., Ph.D.
The Lilly Global Health Partnership aims to help people living in communities with limited resources in Brazil, China, India, Kenya, Mexico, Russia, South Africa and the U.S. Lilly will advance its existing global health work in many of these communities while identifying new opportunities for partnership
