2022 Annual Report: 
Changing World, Changing MSH

In our most recent annual report, we reflect on where we were in 2022; renew our commitment and promise to MSH’s core ethics, behaviors, and principles; and roll-out our response to a global community facing climate change, the repercussions of COVID-19, and socio-political conflict: MSH’s 2023-2030 Strategy.

Dear Friends,

This last year has tested the resilience of health systems worldwide. You see it in countries as diverse as Ukraine and Afghanistan, where MSH has applied a half-century of public health experience to aid in the effort to improve health care amid protracted crises. 

These experiences and those in dozens more countries—impacted by the realities of climate change, conflict, and the long-term consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic—informed the development of our new 2023–2030 organizational strategy. Our strategy is explicitly linked to the commitments of the United Nations 2030 agenda for sustainable development. 

Over the next seven years, MSH will be audacious in helping countries adapt data-informed solutions for local health system challenges that will sustain the delivery of equitable, high-quality, people-centered primary health care. At the heart of our strategy is 52 years of consistency: Our commitment to deep and respectful local partnerships combined with cutting-edge expertise in strengthening health systems. 

The stories in this report inspire me. They are shining examples of what is possible when capable, committed individuals come together from around the globe to share their passion in service to one another and our essential mission of saving lives. 

Thank you to our staff and our partners and stakeholders who candidly shared their insights with us to help us craft this strategy. We know that what we are asking of ourselves is what both we and others believe is the most impactful application of our unique skills and experience to global health. We also owe a great deal of gratitude to our donors, whose shared vision and support makes our work possible. 

I am confident that this new strategy will help us achieve our goals and objectives over the remaining years of the Sustainable Development Goals period and beyond. 

Sincerely,

Marian W. Wentworth, President and Chief Executive Officer
