Looking at best practices and immersing themselves in field work. The commissioners, including co-Chairs Helene Gayle and William Fallon, witnessed innovative programming at these non-governmental organizations.

The passion and empowerment of volunteer health workers and doctors inspired and informed the Commission's global health policy recommendations for the United States government.

The Commission also investigated the impact of U.S. investments at local and provincial levels. All of these experiences are integrated into the report as guiding principles for U.S. action for global health.
