Make impact on a global scale
Good health is a wish expressed at birthday parties, on New Year's Eve and on any joyous occasion to which toast is made. It transcends borders, cultures and backgrounds. We all long for good health for ourselves, our families and communities worldwide.
If we are not doctors, nurses or scientists, it sometimes seems like we are powerless. But are we? With the Healthropist campaign, ITM also wants to empower non-medical professionals to make a tangible impact on global health.
Healthropists
That's why we invite anyone who cares about our mission to become a Healthropist. A Healthropist is a philanthropist with a heart for health, someone who believes in ITM's mission to bring about positive change through science, education and service. Everyone is welcome. The shared vision of global health is key.
The Healthropist newsletter
Becoming a Healthropist is easy and starts with a subscription to The Healthropist newsletter. Published every two months, this newsletter serves as a liaison between ITM and the Healthropist community. Healthropists are kept informed of important updates, research breakthroughs and upcoming events.
Get involved!
If you share our passion for health for all, we invite you to join the Healthropist community. By becoming a healthropist, you are not just a spectator; you can actively contribute to shaping the future of global health.
Embrace your role as a Healthropist today. Subscribe to The Healthropist newsletter, stay informed and be part of a movement that is making a tangible difference in the world. Your involvement, however big or small, is an essential contribution to the global pursuit of health for all.
