Partners
We work closely with a number of Dutch and international partners.
Action for Health Equity. Addressing medical Deserts (AHEAD)
AHEAD is a 26-month project that looks for solutions for medical deserts in Europe. These are areas with a low concentration of health services that result in unmet medical needs, (further) depopulation and marginalization, and increasing health inequalities. It is mainly funded by the European Commission and led by Wemos.

- Center for Health Policy and Services (Romania)
- Cittadinanzattiva (Italy)
- Media Education Centre (Serbia)
- National School of Public Health Management (Moldova)

Equitable health financing for a strong health system in Mozambique

This project is funded by Sint Antonius Stichting Projecten (SAS-P).
