UFHI (Uniting for Health Innovation), formerly the PAHO Foundation, is a
non-government organization whose purpose is to respond to existing and emerging health threats in the Americas.
UFHI was established by the
Pan American Health Organization on September 5, 1968 under the name Pan American Health and Education Foundation (PAHEF). It is based in
Atlanta, Georgia. As of 2020 PAHO had severed ties with the Foundation and "commenced an arbitration proceeding seeking an injunction against the Foundation's ongoing unauthorized use of PAHO's name."
