What We Do

An integrated approach to health systems development.

ThinkWell is a health systems development organization using 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, accessible, and do not cause financial impoverishment by those who use them. We also believe that health financing can serve as a crucial lever to improve overall health systems performance.

Our Practice Areas

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, private sector, public financial management, and research and evaluation.

Together, these six areas are integral components to a functioning health system and they overlap (see figure at right). In keeping with our systems approach, ThinkWell works to ensure that focused efforts in one area are in harmony with the overall system, and that work across the components is coordinated.
