Access to care
Bringing care to everyone, everywhere.
Our ambition
With at least 50% of the world’s population having no access to safe, affordable, and timely healthcare services, delivering healthcare is an urgent task. As a leading medical technology company, it is our responsibility to make quality and affordable healthcare accessible and available to all. By supporting low- and middle-income countries increase access to healthcare, we also contribute to Universal Health Coverage and acceleration of global development, helping countries to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals by 20302.
As a leader in the healthcare industry, it is our privilege and obligation to enable healthcare for everyone, everywhere.
Bernd Montag, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Siemens Healthineers
We aspire to create better outcomes and experiences for patients, no matter where they live. Many families in low- and middle-income countries, especially in remote areas, have limited access to healthcare and to diagnosis and treatment. Challenges include restricted capacities in infrastructure and human resources, and ineffective referral and transportation of samples. There are large discrepancies between when and where care can be accessed both within and between countries. When access is limited, it can create a dangerous and costly cycle in which late diagnosis and therapy lead to suboptimal health outcomes.
We have set ourselves very ambitious targets to address opportunities for global health systems. One of our priorities is to change the status quo, as around half of the world’s population lack access to essential healthcare services. We are committed to do this through innovation, digitally-enabled services and solutions, and multi-stakeholder collaborations. For everyone, everywhere.
Elisabeth Staudinger, Member of the Managing Board of Siemens Healthineers

Partnerships
Today’s healthcare challenges cannot be solved by a single organization alone. Partnering with governments, multilateral organizations and NGOs allows us to bring comprehensive and sustainable solutions to address healthcare gaps and build resilient health systems. Partnerships with organizations like Movement Health Foundation, UNICEF, The Global Fund, Radiology Across Borders, City Cancer Challenge and World Economic Forum are critical to address the needs of the most vulnerable communities. These strong partners play a significant role in accelerating global health by building capacity, delivering health programs and strengthening health systems. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of people everywhere.
