GLC Highlight
Advancing Health Equity in Mesoamerica
GLC Director Wolfgang Munar presented key findings at the two-day convening of the Salud Mesoamérica Initiative in Washington DC. Last week’s international gathering at the InterAmerican Development Bank provided space to reflect on progress made and explore the conditions for its sustainability. Launched in 2010, the Salud Mesoamerica Initiative (SMI) has emerged as a groundbreaking model in public policy, public health, and development across Latin America and the Caribbean. Through strategic partnerships, results-based financing, and culturally sensitive implementation, SMI has catalyzed transformative change within Mesoamerica’s public health systems. Its model ensured quality care for the most vulnerable: the poorest 20% of women and children.
