Announcing the
2021-2022 Fellow Class
GHC is honored to launch our 2021-2022 fellow cohort of 40 young changemakers advancing health equity in Malawi, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zambia.
With a third wave of COVID-19 on the rise and low vaccine rates in East and Southern Africa, it’s a critical time to invest in young, proximate leaders in the region.
Filling Critical Gaps on the Frontlines of Global Health
GHC’s 2021-2022 fellows will join the fight for global health equity, filling critical roles in data analysis, architecture, eHealth, supply chain, behavior change communications, and more with important health organizations including Partners in Health, Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, PATH, AMREF, Ministries of Health, and others.
Working Across Health Systems
GHC selected these fellows for their potential to drive health systems change and their desire to grow as leaders and join our thriving, global network of changemakers. Collectively, they have and will make an impact across a wide range of health issues: COVID-19 response, sexual and reproductive health and rights, water and sanitation, NCDs, malaria and HIV/AIDS eradication, gender-based violence, LGBTQIA+ health, and more.
Delivering Impact
