About
Grameen
Bank and other microfinance programs have proven that bottoms-up business
models can be both sustainable and enable the poor to lift themselves from
poverty. In one generation, many Grameen
borrowers have gone from illiterate and poor to educated professionals with
micro-loans.
In establishing Grameen Health (GH), the goal is to replicate the success of microfinance to health care. The mission of Grameen Health (GH) is to establish sustainable best practices in a broad range of health care services for a broad market including the poor. GH will enable the poor to be self sufficient in addressing their health care needs such that they can accept but not require outside assistance.
