About us

The McKinsey Health Institute (MHI) is an enduring, non-profit-generating entity. It was founded on the conviction that, over the next decade, humanity could add as much as 45 billion extra years of higher-quality life (roughly six years per person on average—and substantially more in some countries and populations). MHI’s mission is to catalyze the actions needed across continents, sectors, and communities to realize this possibility. Learn more about what we do.
