These efforts included groundbreaking work to combat neglected diseases such as rheumatic heart disease in collaboration with the World Heart Federation, and cross-continental ultrasound training programs with RAD-AID International, enabling frontline healthcare workers to detect and prevent life-threatening conditions for people living in low-resource settings. Philips Foundation continues to build scalable healthcare models by providing ventures early-stage capital through Philips Foundation Impact Investments, supporting locally driven innovation and accelerating access to healthcare in underserved settings. In 2024, Philips Foundation Impact Investments expanded its portfolio with new ventures from India and Latin America, reinforcing its commitment to financially viable, locally rooted healthcare innovation. “Combining the impact of long-term strategic collaborations and new, innovative partnerships and early-stage investments, the Foundation has helped to embed healthcare innovations in the communities where they’re most needed, improving healthcare access,” Margot Cooijmans, Director of Philips Foundation and Philips Foundation Impact Investments, said. “We continue to increase the number of people that we reach with quality healthcare, bringing us closer to our ambition to reach 100 million people annually by 2030.” To read the full 2024 Annual Report, click here.
