Driving Impact Through Collaboration

UGHE is reimagining what health education, delivery and leadership looks like by equipping bold change-makers to dismantle inequities, shape global policy, and build stronger systems in communities where the need is greatest.

“With rare exceptions, all of your most important achievements on this planet will come from working with others—or, in a word, partnership.”

~ Dr. Paul E. Farmer, UGHE Visionary Founder and First Chancellor

Why Partner with UGHE

At the University of Global Health Equity, we believe the fight for health equity cannot be won alone. From our founding, UGHE has united visionaries across sectors, disciplines, and borders to reimagine what is possible in global health.

Through the Partnerships & Development Office, we nurture these vital connections; linking the world to UGHE and UGHE to the world. Together, we can build a future where quality health care is not a privilege, but a right for all.

Philanthropic Partnerships

“In addition to providing superb training for so many much-needed health care professionals, UGHE seems sure to become a major economic engine within Rwanda, which itself is becoming the economic center of sub-Saharan Africa.”
