Heart disease and cancer continue to significantly burden individuals, families and communities, being respectively the number one and number two causes of death globally. The most recent statistics by the World Health Organisation estimate that per year nearly 10 million people die of cancer and nearly 18 million of deaths are caused by cardiovascular disease worldwide. As a registered health promotion charity with DGR status, we aim to promote the prevention and control of cancer and heart disease to support patients and their families.

Leveraging GenesisCare’s global expertise, resources and network, our mission is to seek out and support life-changing improvements in cancer and cardiac care, in order to create profound impact at scale for both individuals and communities.

We look to the future by investing in research that has the power to radically improve patient outcomes and rolling out innovative therapies at scale. We partner and collaborate with community organisations, advocacy groups, governments, corporations, and world leading research organisations with the aim of creating long-lasting, impactful partnerships for the public benefit.

We recognise research is a long-term game, but also follow the GenesisCare spirit – we use funds efficiently to get rapid research happening and get results to patients; we get things done, quickly.

Our aim is for everyone, everywhere, to live better for longer; our vision is a world where those needing cancer and cardiac care live their best lives.

We have a willingness to be bold and the power to collaborate globally to achieve our goals.

Our relationship with GenesisCare gives us learnings from and connection into more than 400 hubs around the world.

We also collaborate outside the organisation, with others to bring new treatments to life and scale access to them, all with the goal of creating a world where everyone who needs cancer and cardiac care lives better for longer.

Collaboration is at the heart of our approach. Government, community, technology, medical and research organisations all have a role to play. We work with industry, corporates and philanthropists: investing where our joint efforts can change the approach to cancer and cardiac care diagnosis and impact the future of the healthcare landscape for years to come.

The GenesisCare Foundation aligns its efforts to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, and specifically to Goal 3: Good Health and Wellbeing; Goal 9: Promoting Innovation, and Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals.

The GenesisCare Foundation is an independent health promotion charity born from the philanthropic vision of GenesisCare. Chaired by Dan Collins, the Board which governs the Foundation is comprised of experts in their fields who share a passion for philanthropy.

Thanks to those who have supported us from the very beginning.
