The Task Force For Global Health is an organization that helps to eliminate and control debilitating diseases and improve systems to address broad health needs of populations. Although much of their work is focused in the U.S., they are active in over 157 countries solving large and small scale health problems affecting vulnerable communities. 

The Task Force For Global Health works to protect the health of at-risk populations in a variety of ways. They help with vaccines, disease surveillance, medicines, medical supplies, pandemic preparedness and outbreak response. Their programs include

• The African Health Workforce Project
• Center for Vaccine Equity
• Children Without Worms
• Focus Area for Compassion and Ethics in Global Health
• Global Funders Consortium for Universal Influenza Vaccine Development
• Global Partnership for Zero Leprosy
• International Trachoma Initiative
• Mectizan Donation Program
• MedSurplus Alliance
• Neglected Tropical Disease Support Center
• The Partnership of Influenza Vaccine Introduction
• Polio Health Informatics Institute
• Training Programs in Epidemiology and Public Health Interventions Network 

From 1984 to 1990 they helped increase childhood immunization rates from 20% to 80%. They also manage large donations of medicines from pharmaceutical companies that help to eliminate three neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), trachoma, river blindness and lymphatic filariasis. They help to increase access to multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, support the simultaneous global update of the oral polio vaccine, while also implementing one of the largest disease mapping projects ever undertaken, the Global Trachoma Mapping Project.
