Through
a competitive recruitment process, we identify daring and innovative university
graduates and early- to mid-career professionals from around the world and pair
them with amazing partner organizations and government agencies in the US, East
Africa, and Southern Africa. Our fellows spend a year in their placement
devoting their unstoppable energy to making the world a healthier place for all
people, everywhere. Whether they are working with a small grassroots
organization likeHIPS in
Washington, DC to ensure sex workers have access to critical health services,
or with the Ministry of Health in Zambia researching patient use of HIV testing
and counseling, each fellow plays an essential role in the health equity
movement.

Fellows
come together five times a year for additional training, community building,
leadership development, and mentorship to become audacious, resilient, and
highly-networked changemakers. Each one of our fellows has the capacity to
change the world – and many already are – and we are grateful to work closely
with them to amplify their impact. Since its founding in 2009, GHC has
supported nearly 600 fellows working at various levels of the health system,
across issue areas and across continents, and our community gets stronger every
year.
