Mastercard ranked No. 1 on the Fair360 Top 50 Companies for Diversity list in 2023.
Mastercard supports children’s health in Africa through Wellness Pass, which allows clinics to securely store and track patients’ healthcare histories on a card, even in areas where connectivity is unreliable.
Wellness Pass was created to help patients who lack digital identity. The initiative is part of Mastercard’s Community Pass digital platform, which allows governments, NGOs, banks, agritech companies and other organizations to increase access to critical services and lower costs for people living in remote communities.
“Reliable timely health information is of paramount importance as it enables good decisions to be made and good planning to be carried out,” said Abdellahi Bouhabib, deputy general director of public health at Mauritania’s Ministry of Health, which is helping to implement the initiative.
