Aspen Global Innovators Group
For over 30 years, the Aspen Global Innovators Group has empowered health and development leaders from across Africa, the Americas, Asia, the Caribbean, and the Pacific Island States to build a safe, sustainable and healthier future for all people and communities. The impact of our Fellows reverberates across the globe.
Our mission is to empower visionary leaders and innovators who are working to build a more equitable society. Our global community stands tall with local leaders, collaborators, healers and fellows who have long been beacons in this movement and whose voices and work are critical to reshaping a healthy, equitable future for all. We are committed to amplifying the voices and impact of those who are leading this work.
Partners In Health
Partners In Health is an international nonprofit public health organization founded in 1987 by Paul Farmer, Ophelia Dahl, Thomas J. White, Todd McCormack, and Jim Yong Kim.
Our mission is to provide a preferential option for the poor in health care. By establishing long-term relationships with sister organizations based in settings of poverty, Partners In Health strives to achieve two overarching goals: to bring the benefits of modern medical science to those most in need of them and to serve as an antidote to despair.
We draw on the resources of the world’s leading medical and academic institutions and on the lived experience of the world’s poorest and sickest communities. At its root, our mission is both medical and moral. It is based on solidarity, rather than charity alone.
University of Global Health Equity
In 2014, thanks to the visionary leadership of the Cummings Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Partners In Health took the first steps towards realizing a long-sought aspiration — to create a university that would advance global health delivery by training a new generation of global health leaders who are equipped in not just building, but sustaining effective and equitable health systems.
The University of Global Health Equity (UGHE) stands alone in both its focus on equity and its proximity to health systems that face the very challenges that students will grapple with in the classroom. UGHE is pioneering a new way of training leaders who will emerge ready to develop health care services and systems that connect neglected communities with essential–and life-saving–attention.
