GlobeMed

2013 – 2016 Strategic Plan

The NeedToday, millions of people in poverty continue to suffer and die

from preventable causes. It doesn’t have to be this way. For the first time in human history, we have the tools and resources to

close the health gap, if we work together.

To achieve health equity, we need a movement of people collaborating across borders, sectors and generations to tackle challenges and develop solutions. Together, we can create the

change needed at every level, from communities to global systems, to give all people the chance to live a healthy life.

We use three strategies to strengthen the movement for global health equity. Through this approach, GlobeMed supports community health today and fosters the global

health leadership and collaboration needed for tomorrow.

GlobeMed aims to strengthen the movement for global health equity by empowering students and communities to work together to improve the health of people living in poverty around the world.

Mission

We envision a world in which health – the ability to not only survive but thrive – is possible for all people.
