Health

At Corus, we believe there are five fundamentals everyone needs to survive. Having access to quality health care is one of these fundamentals. 

Our approach to building health care access revolves around five strategic pillars:

• Global Health Security: We help nations prevent, prepare for, and respond to pandemics and outbreaks, supporting preparedness, resilience, and rapid emergency responses.
   
• Health Systems Strengthening: From national policy frameworks to community-level health delivery, we enhance health care systems holistically. We address gaps in workforce capacity, financing, and service delivery, as well as strengthen governance, expand access, and ensure sustainability in fragile health infrastructures.
   
• Social and Behavior Change: We collaborate with local communities to develop human-centered strategies to foster healthier behaviors and challenge harmful social norms.
   
• Local Capacity Strengthening: We accompany our local partners to leverage and elevate their existing capabilities to achieve and sustain health gains and drive innovation.
   
• Integrated Primary Health Care Delivery: We promote the delivery of comprehensive, routine health services to meet people’s needs across lifespans, improving health outcomes through preventative care and early detection screening. 

To build this vital access to health care in communities where it is lacking around the world, Corus draws on the expertise and decades of experience of its subsidiary organization IMA World Health.

• Addressing violence against women and girls
