From Faculty leadership

Reflections on global partnership and shared learning

I’ve been thinking about the many ways our faculty contributes to global health. This reflection has been shaped, in part, by my recent trip to Kigali, Rwanda, for the Africa Health Collaborative Convening, generously supported by the Mastercard Foundation — an experience that left a lasting impression on me. While in Rwanda, I heard about the country’s ongoing efforts, since the 1994 genocide, to foster a shared national identity grounded in the message “We are all Rwandans.” Listening to these reflections underscored for me how essential strong systems — health, education, governance and community partnerships — are to building a resilient society that strives to care for everyone.

Giving Back

The impact of donor support begins by enhancing the work of our clinicians, researchers and trainees but then resonates throughout the health-care system and ultimately serves to improve human health.
