Key points
- The report outlines the Health Foundation's impact on:
- influencing policy and practice
- improving maternal and neonatal health in Malawi, through our MaiKhanda project
- outside entities in terms of our five strategic priorities.
This report is intended to offer an honest and comprehensive appraisal of our work between 2003-2009.
Independent foundations are in a unique position to lead social change but they must think strategically about how they can create the most value for society with the resources they have. Impact-driven foundations are concerned with policy development, strategic communications, partnerships, evaluation and research, as well as the awarding of grants.
We wanted to understand fully the extent to which the Health Foundation has succeeded in creating change in healthcare systems by contributing to new practices, influencing healthcare policy, building partnerships and advancing the science of improvement. In order to do this we developed our impact measurement framework, this has four key themes:
- building the will for quality
- identifying and testing interventions to improve care
- developing skills to ensure reliable delivery of care
- ensuring sustainability and spread.

We look for talented and passionate individuals as everyone at the Health Foundation has an important role to play.
