AIIB Members are facing growing headwinds to improving the health of their populations in the face of climate change, the threat of pandemics including anti-microbial resistance, demographic change, and persistent inequalities. The Health Strategy provides the framework to guide the Bank’s investments in health and sets out how AIIB can add value by providing financing to Members to address these challenges. It supports AIIB’s mandate and Corporate Strategy, is consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals, and aligns with global commitments to improve Universal Health Coverage and primary healthcare. The goal is to maximize the health co-benefits across all its infrastructure financing and improve resilience, inclusivity, effectiveness, and efficiency of health systems. The strategy development process benefitted from an extensive public consultation, taking into account viewpoints from a diverse set of external stakeholders.
This strategic initiative underscores the Bank’s commitment to social development and inclusion, furthering its mission of financing Infrastructure for Tomorrow.
