ALbert Schweitzer

In 1905, a young professor of music and theology felt compelled to answer a call from The Society of Evangelist Missions of Paris, which sought a physician. Despite discouragement from many influential figures in his life, Albert Schweitzer (1875–1965) pursued his calling, earning his medical degree in 1912.

In 1913, he established his first hospital in present-day Gabon, dedicating his life to serving others. He traveled between villages, building hospitals and training locals in medicine, promoting self-sufficiency. Funding his work through his earnings from selling books he authored, research, and donations, Schweitzer set a benchmark for sustainable healthcare. In 1952, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his humanitarian efforts.

Healthcare today

More than a century later, despite advancements in innovation, resources, and knowledge healthcare systems still struggle to meet rising demands. Approximately 55% of the global population lacks proper access to healthcare, despite increased spending and R&D. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines healthcare system improvement in quality and accessibility, through enhancing health outcomes through evidence-based practices.
