The Global Health Case Study Initiative

"If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together."
(African proverb)

 

Millions of lives can be improved – or saved – by sharing the knowledge, resources and technologies of the developed world with those who need it most.

Call for Global Health Case Study Submissions

The Alliance for Case Studies for Global Health announces a call for topic submissions for the 2nd edition of the Case Studies for Global Health, a collection of case studies that provides an inside look at the ways in which diverse programs have sought to address complex health challenges and develop and deliver effective health care for the developing world.

The second edition will be published online in 2012 and will contain updates on 15 to 20 first edition stories as well as up to 15 new case studies. New submissions are encouraged from all entities involved in global health no later than November 18, 2011.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), Global Health Progress (GHP), International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI), Infectious Disease Research Institute (IDRI), Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM) and World Health Organization's Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) joined together to form the Alliance for Case Studies for Global Health with the goal of sharing global health knowledge.

In 2009, this Alliance published more than 30 case studies that highlighted collaborations and transactions between corporations, academic and health care institutions, nonprofit organizations, governments and their health agencies, NGOs, and committed individuals, and presented insight on current practices and lessons learned (both positive and negative) in the course of conducting activities related to global health initiatives.
