About Global Health Corps:
Global
Health Corps (GHC) mobilizes a global community of emerging leaders to build
the movement for health equity. GHC believes young leaders with diverse
backgrounds and a deep commitment to collaboration, innovation, and social
justice are going to revolutionize how the world tackles its toughest health
challenges. We strongly believe our GHC community is the new breed of leaders
that the world desperately needs.
Through
a competitive recruitment process, we identify daring and innovative university
graduates and early- to mid-career professionals from around the world and pair
them with amazing partner organizations and government agencies in the US, East
Africa, and Southern Africa. Our fellows spend a year in their placement
devoting their unstoppable energy to making the world a healthier place for all
people, everywhere. Whether they are working with a small grassroots
organization like HIPS in Washington, DC to ensure sex workers have access to
critical health services, or with the Ministry of Health in Zambia researching
patient use of HIV testing and counseling, each fellow plays an essential role
in the health equity movement.
Fellows
come together five times a year for additional training, community building,
leadership development, and mentorship to become audacious, resilient, and
highly-networked changemakers. Each one of our fellows has the capacity to
change the world – and many already are – and we are grateful to work closely
