We aim to improve the health of vulnerable populations, including those at risk of malnutrition, infectious disease and emerging epidemics, such as obesity and non-communicable diseases (NCDs), by bridging the gap between needs and technologies, evidence and policies, and policies and practice.

HealthBridge works with local partners to identify priority issues, develop and implement appropriate solutions, apply innovative and sustainable practices, and promote effective policies.

As part of the CMC Canada Pro Bono Program, Certified Management Consultant Shahzad Shah and Natalie Hansford, Partner at Lean Excellence Canada, delivered specialized HR consulting services to HealthBridge.
