MSD supports the development and implementation of health targets to allocate resources for the improvement of public health. Health targets are specific, quantifiable objectives that are part of a comprehensive national or population-based healthcare strategy.

We are committed to making valuable contributions to the development of health target strategies, specifically in the areas of available drug interventions, treatment options, and outcomes research.

Specifically dedicated to improving the health, independence and quality of life of older people throughout the world, MIAH is working to fulfill its mission by undertaking three activities:
