Global Health Corps

Global Health Corps (GHC) is a U.S. non-profit organization founded in 2009, aimed at mobilizing the next generation of health leaders. Emphasizing the importance of effective leadership as a critical lever for change in the global health sector, GHC cultivates a community of diverse young professionals dedicated to health equity. Through competitive fellowships, GHC places emerging leaders in health organizations across the United States and in East Africa, including countries like Malawi, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zambia.

The organization’s fellowship program is designed to provide selected fellows with a paid, year-long experience where they not only contribute to vital health initiatives but also gain crucial training, mentorship, and professional development. GHC supports its network of fellows through various training programs aimed at enhancing collaboration, systems thinking, and advocacy skills, ultimately aiming to strengthen health systems and promote health as a human right. The program furthers the commitment to creating a more just healthcare landscape by preparing leaders to address pressing health challenges while fostering cross-cultural understanding and community awareness.
