Shaping health impact worldwide
Health Impact Group is an independent global health consultancy that partners to translate evidence, innovation, and investment into measurable, equitable health impact – for everyone, everywhere.
Who we are
Health Impact Group is an alliance of senior global health experts, anchored by a strong core team and the flexibility to rapidly mobilize additional expertise as needs evolve.
We partner with governments, UN agencies, donors, foundations, NGOs, industry and leading academic institutions to design, shape, and deliver solutions at the intersection of evidence, policy, markets, and delivery systems — where progress often stalls and effective execution matters most.
Many members of Health Impact Group have held senior roles within the partner organisations we now support. We have led policy development, convened and facilitated complex multi-stakeholder processes, negotiated consensus, designed and evaluated programmes, introduced health products, addressed access barriers, publicly advocated for equitable access to healthcare and supported implementation in complex and resource-constrained settings.
This experience allows us to combine judgment, realism, and execution — helping partners not only in deciding what should be done, but in ensuring it is done effectively and efficiently.
Closing the gap between evidence and impact
Across the global health sector, innovation and evidence are accelerating, but implementation and impact are not keeping pace. Progress is often slowed by a small number of recurring challenges:
Evidence that is not decision-ready, leaving leaders without clear choices or pathways for action
Strategies disconnected from delivery realities, including financing constraints, community needs and political context
Innovations that stall between pilot and scale, lacking viable access, financing, or market pathways
Fragmented partnerships and accountability, with misaligned incentives between multiple actors stalling progress
Markets that fail to deliver sustainable access, undermining affordability, quality, and continuity of essential health products
Execution bottlenecks and weak learning loops, slowing implementation and adaptation
Limited system resilience in fragile and crisis-affected settings, where shocks quickly disrupt care

These challenges dilute investment, slow progress and undermine impact — particularly across priority areas including infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, antimicrobial resistance, universal health coverage, sexual and reproductive health, maternal and child health, and broader health system strengthening.
Health Impact Group helps partners navigate and overcome these challenges — turning ambition into execution, and effort into measurable, equitable impact.
Our role in the ecosystem
Health Impact Group plays a connective role in the global health ecosystem, working across interdependent system components — evidence, policy, financing, markets, delivery, and governance — particularly in complex, fragile, or rapidly evolving contexts.
We are often engaged where progress has stalled: when evidence has not translated into policy or practice; when innovations struggle to scale; or when multiple actors require alignment to move forward.
Drawing on deep institutional experience and trusted relationships across governments, multilateral agencies, donors, industry, and implementing partners, we bring clarity where systems are fragmented, align actors around feasible pathways, and support decisions that lead to timely, equitable, and sustainable results.
Our work is grounded in systems thinking, recognising that sustainable impact depends on how decisions, incentives, institutions, and delivery realities interact — especially under conditions of uncertainty or crisis.
What we do
Health Impact Group delivers specialised consultancy services across six areas.
Evidence Translation and Strategy
We translate complex evidence, disaggregated data, and guidance into clear, decision-ready insights that inform strategy, policy and action.
Policy and Programme Design, Evaluation, and Learning
We design evidence-based policies, programmes, and implementation models and we establish monitoring, evaluation and learning frameworks to strengthen delivery and enable adaptation over time.
Access Strategy and Market Shaping
We shape access pathways and market dynamics to enable affordable, sustainable and equitable delivery of essential health products and services.
Partnership Development and Consensus Building
We convene and align diverse stakeholders towards shared goals. We lead values-based negotiations to facilitate building of trust, managing trade-offs, and enabling coordinated action and shared accountability at scale.
Strategic Advocacy and Stakeholder Engagement
We support structured engagement with decision-makers and key stakeholders to advance priorities, norms, and solutions at global, regional, and national levels.
Digital health and AI-enabled Solutions
We apply responsible, equitable digital and AI-enabled approaches to enhance decision-making, programme delivery, and system performance.
How we work
Health Impact Group operates where complex health challenges demand both depth of expertise and hands-on execution within real health systems.
Our approach is grounded in practical systems thinking. We recognise how evidence, incentives, institutions, financing and operational realities interact, particularly in complex, fragile and rapidly evolving contexts. This allows us to bring structure and coherence to fragmented environments, align stakeholders around feasible pathways, and support decisions that lead to timely, equitable and durable results.
We are effective because:
- we bring senior judgement shaped by experience across multiple parts of the global health ecosystem
- we integrate strategy, evidence, innovation, and delivery rather than treating them as separate silos
- we operate with independence and integrity, providing clear, honest advice grounded in evidence and public interest
- we are built to scale with our partners, assembling the right expertise for each challenge, geography and phase of work
- we take shared responsibility for outcomes, staying engaged from strategy through to real-world implementation
- we remain agile, focused, and outcome-oriented, without the overhead of large consultancies
Above all, we bring a strong sense of responsibility for results — because the real measure of success is the difference those results make in people’s lives.
