Thanks for Your Support
This week, most Americans are preparing to visit with family and friends, cook a big meal, and give thanks for all the things they have – things like happiness and good health. During this special time, we at the Institute for OneWorld Health would like to remind you to also think about those who are less fortunate; those who live in extreme poverty and do not have access to the medical treatment they need when they fall ill. Please consider making a gift to iOWH this holiday season and help us reach thousands of people afflicted by deadly yet preventable diseases.
