Realizing Global Health was founded for Dr Elvira to help her clients and students succeed.

“We live in amazing times. Our world now has the knowledge and technology to prevent millions of deaths. We also know that no country has the perfect health system to ensure this happens. It is the job of global health professionals to ensure every country has a self-reliant and sustainable health system that can deliver quality healthcare consistently and efficiently to all and save these lives. Let’s get it done!” Dr Elvira Beracochea, RGH President

Dr Elvira has made it her mission to help countries prevent deaths and achieve tangible global health results.

Dr Elvira’s Mission is to assist her clients to develop sustainable and self-reliant health systems that realize the right to health for every human being in every country.

How Dr Elvira Works is based on empowering health professionals to  work differently and set and achieve daily goals.  Four main beliefs guide her work:

First, she believes in empowering country leaders,  demonstrating accountability and applying the principles of aid effectiveness. Her book  “Improving Aid Effectiveness in Global Health”  is her guide for creating effective partnerships with clients and delivering sustainable results. She has developed unique system improvement tools and training programs to ensure effective cooperation, collaboration and communication with and among every stakeholder of a country’s health system – from government officials, to donors, academia, non-governmental organizations to public and private health care providers, and donors.

Second, Dr Elvira believes one person can make a huge difference. She believes in the Power of One person has to start and manage change and achieve sustainable results. Dr Elvira’s training and coaching programs empower health professionals to start to change by taking small daily steps. In this way, clients improve their performance and ensure the delivery of quality healthcare according to international standards.

Third, Dr Elvira believes in delivering rapid results to her clients. Why wait years to see change and tangible results?  The RGH100 Program transforms a clinic or health center from low to top performing in just 100 days. Imaging if your country could transform 10% of their country’s facilities into top performers every year. In 10 years, that country would achieve 100% coverage! How does the program work? The RGH team have developed effective tools and procedures to improve how health facilities work. The RGH100 Program puts the procedures in place that ensure the  facility can deliver quality health care to every person in the coverage area of each facility.

And fourth, she believes in the Right to Health as approved by the United Nations. With colleagues, Dr Elvira wrote a book, “Rights-Based Approaches to Public Health,” that gather a number of right-based approaches she uses in her work.

“Everyone everywhere everyday has the right the highest standard of care possible. Let’s get it done.” Dr Elvira Beracochea

The History of RGH

It started with the power of one…

Realizing Global Health (RGH) began in 2005. Dr Elvira Beracochea founded the company based on her belief that developing nations, global health organizations and donors needed  innovative and more effective, rapid and sustainable global health assistance solutions.

Dr Beracochea also believes that one person can and must be empowered to make a difference and to demonstrate that she wrote the book “Health for All NOW” (HFAN) (RGH2007-2012). HFAN is a parable based on the work  of many successful leaders that she has trained and coached throughout her career. Her students are leaders who have learned to defy the odds and have made quality healthcare for all possible in their respective areas of influence. Since 2007, HFAN has  inspired thousands of health professionals worldwide to apply the HFAN principles and achieve lasting results making the best of existing and additional resources.

RGH grew with a worldwide plan…

The plan is  to make health care faster, better and more efficient.  Dr Elvira helps clients to change how the business of global health assistance works to deliver rapid results and meet quality health care standards consistently countrywide.

And here we are today…

Now over 15 years later, Realizing Global Health (RGH) continues evolving and growing to meet the global health challenges of the Post-2015 agenda. Dr Elvira strives to help her students and clients to go beyond the new health targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and help realize a new more effective global health assistance architecture that progressively achieves sustainable results.

It is Dr Elvira’s firm belief in the right to health of every human being that guides her to empower her clients to use effective tools, the latest medical knowledge and best practices to develop self-reliant and sustainable health systems.

“If there is one thing Covid has shown our world,  it is that we must innovate and use all the tools and knowledge we do have to stop millions of preventable deaths and provide quality health care to everyone, everywhere, every day. Let’s get it done.”

Dr Elvira Beracochea

The RGH Logo Explained

The RGH Logo

A health system comprises three levels that need to be strong and interdependent: primary health care facilities provide the foundation; secondary care and educational institutions comprise the second level; government sets policy at the top and monitors health system performance. Professionals at all levels must be ready to collaborate, coordinate, and effectively share knowledge. The RGH systemic approach transforms a uncoordinated health system into a sustainable health system.

There are often gaps in every system that affect the performance of the country’s health programs and prevent them from running smoothly. Gaps prevent health facilities from delivering quality healthcare efficiently and consistently.  RGH has solutions to address these gaps and make the system self-reliant,  more efficient and sustainable.
