Access to health education is a human right.

Every year, 5 million children die globally before reaching their fifth birthday, mostly from preventable illness. Lack of access to health education leaves medically underserved communities across the globe without the proper knowledge to improve health outcomes. At the Stanford Center for Health Education, we believe that expanding access to engaging education has the power to change behaviors, improve health, and ultimately save lives. Through the Digital Medic initiative, we are committed to reaching communities worldwide with accurate, timely, and understandable health information.
