of Global Health Equ

ity (UGHE) is a new kind of university focused on training
the next generation of global leaders in health care delivery. The university
launched in Rwanda in September 2015 with its flagship degree program: the
Master of Science in Global Health Delivery. Through an academic experience
uniquely rooted in the values of equity, students are empowered to both ease
suffering at the bedside and drive transformational, systemic changes to the
health system.

UGHE
is an initiative of Partners In Health (PIH), an internationally recognized
non-profit organization whose mission is to provide a preferential option for
the poor in health care. In over nearly three decades of operating alongside
public sectors in countries around the world, PIH has developed a model to
deliver high quality health care to some of the world’s most marginalized
communities. Nowhere has this impact been more profound than in Rwanda, where
Inshuti Mu Buzima—PIH’s sister organization—and our government partners have
driven innovation for a decade.
Members
of the UGHE community are tenacious and resolute in our drive to attain social
justice, make common cause with those in needed, listen to and learn from
others, and operate with honesty and humility as we uphold academic integrity
and intellectual curiosity. The University of Global Health Equity seeks
