HOME Mission Statement We believe that all people worldwide deserve the opportunity for a healthy life. Because the resources exist to reduce health disparities, we believe that current inequities are not acceptable. Finally, we believe that we have both the responsibility and the ability to achieve greater global health equity. To reduce international health disparities, our group promotes global health awareness, education and advocacy at OHSU. We facilitate opportunities for students to visit other countries to learn about health care in diverse cultures and settings. Finally, we use our global health awareness to serve the health care needs of our local community. Through Global Health Alliance activities, we hope to increase OHSU collaboration with the global health community in order to promote health equity for all people worldwide. Great Resource for Global Health Interventions Now Available! A valuable reference, “Disease Control Priorities in Developing Countries” has just been released in its second version by the Disease Control Priorities Project (DCPP). DCPP has made a wealth of global health data available for download from its website. Check out the searchable database of health interventions too. The DCPP is a joint effort by the WHO, Fogarty International Center, World Bank, and others to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of global health interventions.
