About Global Health Strategies (GHS)
GHS is an international health organization that works to ensure the delivery of life-saving health products, technologies, and information to those who need them the most. We use policy research and analysis, advocacy, communications, program implementation, and market entry strategies to address health-related issues that disproportionately impact developing nations and emerging markets. In this endeavour, GHS partners with foundations, industry, NGOs, government agencies, and academic institutions. Some of our prominent partners include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Johns Hopkins University, the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition, and GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance, among others.
