	abstract = {This case examines the work of the Measles Initiative (MI), a consortium of multiple international organizations, in helping catalyze a global effort to reduce worldwide measles-related mortality by expanding delivery of measles vaccinations. After providing background information on the biology of the measles virus and the epidemiology of measles, it recounts the formation of the MI, its partnership structure, its goals, its program design, and its financing. The case focuses on how multilateral global health initiatives coordinate with national governments to improve health care delivery. By 2009, the MI had made significant gains in reducing measles mortality, but was facing decreased funding and was questioning its strategy going forward.Teaching Note\&nbsp;available through Harvard Business Publishing.[[{"fid":"3308191","view_mode":"default","type":"media","attributes":{"height":"575","width":"242","alt":"Clinical Presentations of Measles","title":"Clinical Presentations of Measles","class":"media-element file-default"}}]]Clinical Presentations of Measles.
