Advancing Health Equity. Building Economies. Empowering Communities.
The SIMPCO Foundation works alongside communities across 13 countries to deliver medical care, strengthen public health systems, and create pathways to economic opportunity.
Why We Exist
For decades, I have witnessed preventable suffering in communities that lack access to basic health services and economic opportunity. The SIMPCO Foundation exists to change that — not with short-term aid, but by building institutions, skills, and systems that communities own for generations.
— Jeffrey E. Sterling, MD, MPH, Founder & CEO
