Why Global Health Matters to NC: 9/21 Policy Event
More than 150 business, government and health leaders came together Monday, September 21st for a statewide forum focused on making North Carolina, and specifically Research Triangle Park, a center of excellence in global health. The forum was hosted by CSIS Global Health Policy Center and the newly-formed Triangle Global Health Consortium.
Monday’s statewide forum also served as the formal launch of the Triangle Global Health Consortium. The Consortium’s seven founding members include Family Health International, IntraHealth International, North Carolina Biotechnology Center, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University, RTI International and Duke University.
It aims to define innovative solutions to improve the health of underserved populations through collaborative research and joint service projects. For IntraHealth International’s Pape Gaye, that means changing the way they do business. Gaye stressed the need for new partnerships that focus on strengthening health systems and capacity building.
