Global Health Catalyst Summit – Harvard Medical School

Global Health Catalyst Summit – Harvard Medical School

The Global Health Catalyst (GHC) summit at Harvard is a unique annual event designed to catalyze
high impact international collaborations to eliminate global health disparities and curb the growing
burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). We currently focus on cancer and mental health. In
recent years we have facilitated collaborations to establish or support cancer centers and healthcare
institutions in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMIC) in Africa, strengthened healthcare systems
through education and training, and established research collaborations, disease prevention, and
advocacy programs. Our unique focus on incorporating advanced information and communication
technologies enables us to extend and sustain our collaborative outcomes. By engaging diaspora groups,
stakeholders from LMIC and industry leaders in win-win initiatives, we advance healthcare and
development globally.
The 2019 Harvard GHC Summit will hold from May 24-26, 2019 in Boston. Content includes inspiring
talks, leadership training, panel discussions, workshops, awards dinner, poster session, networking with
global health and government leaders, and most importantly, partnership building. In 2018 we welcomed
participants from over 20 countries. 2019 participants from across the world, especially USA, Europe
and Africa will include leaders of the largest cancer organizations in the USA and Africa, international
health organizations, LMIC institutions, industry, global health and policy makers including ministers
and ambassadors. Radiation, oncology and other health professionals as well as students and trainees
actively participate. We purposefully engage diaspora leaders, nonprofit organizations, and other
strategic/community partners interested in global health. Au courant information and organizing partner
