What We Do

The CMB Foundation fosters collaboration and leadership among the U.S., China and Southeast Asia to advance health.

In 2016, CMB became a direct operating foundation, placing it in a stronger position to work with Asian and global partners to initiate, develop, and manage collaborative programs.

In China, CMB prioritizes work in health professional education, with a strong focus on graduate medical education; health systems, research, and practice; global health; and leadership development. In Southeast Asia, CMB’s flagship program is The Equity Initiative, a long-term fellowship program to build leadership for health equity and develop a community of changemakers from a wide range of sectors to support health equity in Southeast Asia. CMB also provides grant support in Southeast Asia for medical education reform, efforts to advance global health, and regional networking.
