GLOBAL HEALTH DELIVERY

The Global Health Delivery Project at Harvard University (GHD) was launched in 2007 under the guidance of Dr. Jim Y. Kim, Dr. Paul Farmer, and Professor Michael Porter. (View GHD's debut presentation given by Dr. Kim and Professor Porter in September 2007.) At the time, global health care programs and practitioners had few opportunities to share experiences. They were often isolated and unable to access the latest clinical knowledge, drugs, and technologies, creating a gap between what was known and available in modern medicine and what was being delivered on the ground to patients and communities most in need. Meanwhile, resources for global health were increasing through large-scale funding agencies such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and PEPFAR.
