Dr. Krishna Reddy, President of ACCESS Health Asia, was recently appointed as a Principal of the Leapfrog to Value Collaborative. The Collaborative is focused on promoting compassionate and high-quality health systems that deliver better outcomes at lower costs.
The Leapfrog to Value Collaborative includes affiliate organizations such as Percept and PharmAccess Foundation, along with partners; the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement, USAID, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Merck for Mothers, UBS Optimus Foundation, The Rockefeller Foundation, Mulago Foundation, The Global Development Incubator, Data for Implementation, and World Health Partners (WHP).
The Collaborative’s primary objective is to launch a dedicated platform called Usha Lesizalo, which focuses on providing compassionate and high-quality care for mothers and newborns. Additionally, the L2V Collaborative plans to establish a community of practice for value-based care in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
Supporting national health insurance schemes in implementing value-based care policies is another key aim of the collaborative. With this partnership and the launch of Usha Lesizalo, ACCESS Health International and the Leapfrog to Value Collaborative are poised to make significant strides in improving healthcare outcomes and ensuring high-quality care for mothers and newborns around the world.
