Graphic Design and Communications Internship
ThinkWell is a growing health system development organization. We use tailored health financing approaches to help low- and middle-income countries achieve universal health coverage. We believe that effective health financing systems are essential to ensuring health services are well resourced, high quality, and accessible, and do not cause financial impoverishment to those who use them. We also believe that health financing can serve as a crucial lever to improve overall health systems performance.
ThinkWell employs a “whole-of-systems” approach to health financing. We specialize in five practice areas that intersect with health financing: governance, human resources for health, the private sector, public financial management, and research and evaluation.
