Health Works Leaders Coalition Launches with Seed Global Health Among Founding Members to Drive Health Investment 

Seed Global Health has been named a founding member of the Health Works Leaders Coalition, an alliance officially launched by The World Bank Group, the World Health Organization and the Government of Japan. The Coalition brings together health and finance ministers, global health agencies, civil society representatives, business leaders and philanthropic organizations.  

As a coalition member, Seed will work alongside partners to advance health investments that create jobs, strengthen resilience, and accelerate progress toward universal health coverage.  

We will also directly support our partner countries that have signed on to create national health compacts: Uganda, Zambia, and Sierra Leone. 

The coalition forms part of Health Works, a World Bank-led initiative supporting countries to provide accessible, high-quality health services and reach 1.5 billion people by 2030. 

More than a funding mechanism, the Coalition represents a coordinated effort to mobilize investments, catalyze reform, and align partners behind government-led priorities —beginning with 21 countries announced at its inaugural meeting during the World Bank Group Annual Meetings to develop National Health Compacts outlining reform agendas, investment priorities, and shared accountability for expanding access to quality, affordable healthcare.  

The National Health Compacts are expected to be formally launched at the UHC High-Level Forum in Tokyo in December 2025.
