About
Global Health Catalyst

Mission: To catalyze win-win collaborations for Global Health and Development powered by AI and other advanced technologies.

Our Vision

A world where everyone, everywhere has access to the best CARE (Care, Advocacy, Research, and Education) enabled by global collaboration and advanced technologies.

We have a dream that one day cancer will be eradicated, and that people of all socio-economic, racial, religious, and cultural backgrounds will have access to quality health care.

Our Story

The Global Health Catalyst (GHC) is a world leading platform for catalyzing high impact international collaborations and initiatives for global health and development. The GHC began with GHC summits organized at Harvard, and collaborative philanthropic work through the Sts. Paul and Stephen Foundation to address disparities in Africa, empower women and tens of thousands of youth to take charge of their future. The success of the GHC which started with seed funding from Harvard has resulted in more funding from the USA government and other stakeholders to grow across different institutions including Johns Hopkins, University of Pennsylvania, and other world leading institutions. The GHC's unique and powerful win-win collaboration engine is the Comprehensive Cancer/CARE Center in the Cloud (C4) powered by AI for democratizing access to quality CARE (Care, Advocacy, Research, Education). Given the global cross-institutional initiatives, broad-stakeholder participation and collaborations involved with the GHC, the content expressed on this website does not reflect the views of any institution or those providing funding such as the National Institutes of Health.
