Our Partners

Partners and Funding

The HN/HC Collaborative consists of a diverse set of 12 institutions, including think-tanks, international organizations and research centers.

Our partners represent countries that have populations with similar demographic characteristics, face similar burdens of illness, and all spend above the OECD average on health care. Yet each country structures and finances their health care system differently.

Together, our partners bring a unique set of expertise and experience, as well as access to national and regional patient level data.
