Global Health Council
Statement of Purpose The Global Health Council’s mission is to promote better health around the world by assisting all who work for improvement and equity in global health to secure the information and resources they need to work effectively. Toward this end, we will serve our members through our work in advocacy, building alliances, and communicating experiences and best practices.
Each year, all around the world, tens of millions of human beings die needlessly, and hundreds of millions of lives are ravaged by ill health. The world has the resources to greatly reduce this loss and suffering. As we enter the 21st Century, we must realize that when humanity suffers, we ourselves suffer. When it comes to global health, there is no them, only us.
The Council is the world’s largest membership alliance dedicated to global health, consisting of more than 2,000 individuals and organizations from around the world. These include health care providers and trainers, program managers, policy makers, and advocates; private voluntary organizations, advocacy groups, academic institutions, foundations and technical consulting groups; government and multilateral agencies, foundations, and private corporations.
To achieve our mission, the Council brings together the global actors in health around seven key issues which have been identified as critical to improving health and promoting equity: child health and nutrition;
reproductive health & maternal health; HIV/AIDS; infectious diseases; disaster & refugee health; emerging global health threats; and health systems.
Directing our common efforts politically and practically will dramatically reduce disease and death in all countries.
