Biography

Ari Johnson, MD, is co-founder and CEO of Muso, and Associate Professor at the University of California San Francisco, Global Health Sciences. His work with Muso pursues a cure for delay: the right to early health care for all people. Ari trained at Harvard Medical School and completed his residency at the University of California San Francisco. He has published peer-reviewed articles and essays in the fields of infectious disease, health care systems design, and socioeconomic determinants of health. Over the past sixteen years, Ari has supported Muso to design and build Rapid Care, a strategy for early, universal access to health care. A study in BMJ Global Health documented how Rapid Care communities achieved and sustained a rate of child death lower than any country in Sub-Saharan Africa for five years running. Muso currently cares for 500,000 patients, and supports governments to redesign their national health care systems, to reach their patients with speed.
