According to the World Bank Group and the World Health Organization (2025), more than half of humanity lacks essential health services and about one in four people are pushed into financial stress by healthcare costs. Together with key partners around the globe (e.g., nonprofit organizations, ventures, and other like-minded organizations), Philips Foundation seeks to identify challenges where a combination of healthcare technology expertise and partner experience can be used to create meaningful solutions that have a positive impact on people’s lives.
Philips Foundation supports United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Our mission reflects our commitment to SDG 3 (Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages) and SDG 17 (Revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development).

The reports highlights 22 ongoing and new initiatives in partnership with NGOs, governments, universities and social enterprises. Philips Foundation and its partners unlocked access to quality medical services for over 46.5 million people in underserved communities in 2024, marking a significant increase from 2023.

Philips Foundation is a registered charity in the Netherlands (ANBI).
