Global Health and Social Change: Creating Sustainable Solutions

Introduction
In today’s interconnected world, global health has become a crucial focus for addressing some of the most pressing challenges, from infectious diseases to healthcare access and inequality. GEI’s Global Health programs are designed to inspire the next generation of global health leaders to create sustainable solutions that improve health outcomes across different cultural contexts. 
Experiential Learning for Impact
At the heart of our Global Health programs is experiential learning. Students and professionals work side by side with local health institutions, NGOs, and community leaders in countries like Rwanda, Kenya, and Vietnam. These partnerships allow participants to gain real-world experience in addressing public health challenges, such as maternal and child health, infectious disease prevention, and health systems strengthening.

Innovating for Change

Through hands-on engagement, students are empowered to apply innovative solutions, often working on projects such as building community health capacity, creating public health campaigns, and conducting field research. These programs emphasize collaboration, cultural competence, and problem-solving, all of which are essential for driving meaningful change in global health.
