Global Health is more than medicine, it is the intersection of medical and social sciences with a borderless scope. From a medical perspective, Global Health addresses the pathology of diseases and promotes prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. The social science perspective, which includes field like economics, public policy, demography, epidemiology, and sociology, addresses the determinants and distribution of health worldwide. According to The World Health Organization (WHO), the world faces a shortage of 4.3 million health professionals required for delivering essential health care services to populations in need. GHCI's programs aim to supply the next cadre of Global Health professionals to meet the needs of this ever-increasing shortage.
