The Global Health Initiative

Spotlight: SPH-GHI Global Health Map

This SPH-GHI Global Health Map features SPH faculty and student projects around the world. We hope this map offers a way to connect and inform our community with what we are doing globally. Projects include research, courses, practice and service, and combinations of these categories. The map is interactive, so clicking on a highlighted country will display SPH projects happening there. All projects have links or investigator emails, so you can definitely get more information. If you can contribute to this map, please fill out the New Project Form. We encourage faculty and students to feature their current projects, outside of those exclusively in the United States.
