The World Health Organization describes health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental human right, regardless of race and nationality, religious and political beliefs.
Improving Health and Wellbeing, globally, is a strategic priority for the Firuza Foundation. This is a field where leveraging innovative power of science and catalyzing power of partnerships is essential.
We are already working with the World Health Organization Foundation and other international organizations in finding long term solutions to address health emergencies, programs that are designed to eliminate diseases. We also provide support to academic institutions in scientific research towards solutions for critical health problems.
In today’s world, where even most complicated health problems can be solved by sophisticated techniques, surgical interventions or advanced medicine, it is disappointing to see so many people are left behind from access to even basic health solutions such as vaccines or nutrition during early childhood.
We believe the world needs to invest in both angles: Collective actions to prevent and treat infectious diseases as well as non-communicable must remain a priority to ensure health and well-being of communities. At the same time, we should continue supporting research for advanced solutions towards treatment of rare diseases, genetic disorders, cancer, while working on solutions to ensure longevity and improved quality of life.
