Discovery's core purpose is to make people healthier and to enhance and protect their lives. This guides everything we do, including our relationship with society and the systems that make life possible. Our products and services provide the primary pathway for positive change at scale. We support this through strategic investments, such as the Discovery Foundation, Discovery Fund, Discovery Force for Good, and strong systems of governance and accountability.
Our contribution is focused on health and healthcare, aligning directly with national and global imperatives for 2030. These include the National Development Plan and the United Nations' sustainable development goal of good health and wellbeing.
