WHO WE ARE

Global Health Otherwise

Welcome to Global Health Otherwise — where we believe today’s urgent global health challenges demand bold, alternative approaches. From mounting humanitarian crises and the growing health impacts of climate change to the rising burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and shrinking international development funding, business-as-usual is no longer an option.

Against the backdrop of today’s complex global public health landscape, Global Health Otherwise stands firm in the belief that only through proactive and strategic science communication, bold health diplomacy, purposeful strategic partnerships, and an unflinching recognition of health as deeply political can we drive the transformative, ethical, and equitable change our world urgently needs.
