Venture firm OurCrowd is partnering with the World Health Organization to launch a $200 million global health equity fund.
The fund will focus on health technology innovations that will improve health equity. The fund will also target industries that affect determinants of health, such as energy transition and agriculture.
The fund was launched at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York City, according to the Sept. 19 OurCrowd news release.
The fund will be led by OurCrowd CEO Jon Medved and OurCrowd Managing Partner Morris Laster, MD, with collaboration from the WHO Chief Impact Investment Officer Geetha Tharmaratnam.
