Danish Alliance for Global Health

About us

We are a politically independent alliance with a vision to enable long and healthy lives for everyone, everywhere.

We are dedicated to increasing and improving development support for the world's poorest and most vulnerable populations.

We bring together civil society, the private sector, foundations and research institutions with a common mission: bolstering support for global health and maintaining Denmark’s frontrunner position.

Our goal is to create a movement that informs development priorities in Denmark and beyond. We need a strong voice in the fight for sexual and reproductive health and rights, universal health coverage, vaccines, joint efforts against major epidemics such as tuberculosis, HIV and malaria and other major challenges of our time.

Our approach

Denmark should again lead the way in global health.

Data and analyses

Evidence-based advocacy

Public debate and awareness

Capacity building

Good health and well-being for all is key to a sustainable future.

Investing in global health supports the most vulnerable and at-risk populations, reduces inequality and contributes to the realization of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's).

Time for new priorities

Denmark should again lead the way in global health.

Collaboration is more crucial than ever, especially in low-income countries.

Overlapping and prolonged crises, including those caused by climate change, have deepened existing health inequalities. Robust health systems require significant investments and rely on international support and innovative financing strategies.

Denmark’s position as a global health champion is at risk.

Significant changes in official development assistance (ODA) challenge traditional strongholds, including budgets for global health, multilateralism and support for the least developed countries.

Now is the time to put global health back on the agenda.

There are significant gaps to fill if we aim to meet the health-related SDG's.
