The Need
Our Approach
Today, millions of people in poverty continue to suffer and die from preventable causes. It doesn’t have to be this way. For the first time in human history, we have the tools and resources to close the health gap, if we work together.
We use three strategies to strengthen the movement for global health equity. Through this approach, GlobeMed supports community health today and fosters the global health leadership and collaboration needed for tomorrow.
To achieve health equity, we need a movement of people collaborating across borders, sectors and generations to tackle challenges and develop solutions. Together, we can create the change needed at every level, from communities to global systems, to give all people the chance to live a healthy life.
