In 2010, we began a period of important partnerships and took a leadership role in the following global and national organizations:
- World Health Organization (WHO): In April 2017, we participated in the Global Partners Meeting on Neglected Tropical Diseases. In that year we also established a partnership between both institutions to strengthen access to diagnosis and treatment of Chagas disease.
- Pan American Health Organization (PAHO): Since 2016, we have maintained official relations with this institution. This was possible after a process of an exhaustive analysis of the management and collaborations between the Foundation and PAHO.
- Global Chagas Coalition: We are one of the Founding Members, together with DNDi, the Sabin Vaccine Institute, ISGlobal and CEADES.
- STH Coalition: We are engaged in this working group that seeks to increase the efforts in addressing geohelminthiasis.
- Uniting to Combat NTDs: We are the only Latin American organization participating in this international coalition created to reduce the impact of ten neglected tropical diseases. It is supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
- Alliance for the control and interruption of vector transmission of Chagas disease in Central America and Mexico: Fundación Mundo Sano, DNDi and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), from Canada, are the members of this alliance, which is based on a framework partnership agreement that includes the development of a project in areas of high Chagas disease transmission in Guatemala, with the participation of local authorities and universities.

- General University Hospital of Valencia: Based on this agreement, we developed programs for prevention, training, diagnosis and treatment of Chagas disease focused on Latin American migrant communities together with patient associations.
