Action Medical Research has been funding medical breakthroughs since we began nearly 70 years ago.

We have helped to beat polio, fight meningitis, prevent stillbirths and develop ultrasound scanning in pregnancy, helping to save thousands of children’s lives and change many more.

Today we continue to tackle the challenges disease and disability present by funding high quality research to save and change children’s lives and are driving forward research to help protect children in the fight against COVID-19.
