Global health impact, powered by partnership.

A trusted, cross-sector alliance advancing access to quality healthcare. PQMD brings together leading nonprofit and corporate organizations around a shared purpose: advancing sustainable, equitable access to quality healthcare for underserved communities and populations in crisis.

Our focus areas
