About: With the creation of the Global Health Delivery Project, physician leaders and faculty from the Division of Social Medicine and Health Inequalities at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, the Department of Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School, the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness at Harvard Business School, the François-Xavier Bagnoud Center for Health and Human Rights, and Partners In Health, many with decades of experience as hands-on pioneers in delivering care in resource-limited settings, are taking up the “implementation gap” and Global Health Delivery and Implementation challenge.

About: DGHSM is an interdisciplinary basic science department focused on both teaching and conducting research about the social, cultural and moral aspects of illness and health care, with a special emphasis on reducing health disparities and improving the quality of medical care. Central to the mission of the Department is an effort to address significant global health problems affecting resource-poor societies and underserved American communities. Members of the Department develop innovative interventions for dealing with multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, mental illnesses, and drug abuse in resource poor settings.
