The Global Health Council is the world's largest membership alliance dedicated to saving lives by improving health throughout the world.

Our diverse membership is comprised of health-care professionals and organizations that include NGOs, foundations, corporations, government agencies and academic institutions that work to ensure global health for all.



Our Mission

The Council works to ensure that all who strive for improvement and equity in global health have the information and resources they need to succeed.

Our History

The Global Health Council, formerly the National Council of International Health, is a U.S.-based, nonprofit membership organization that was created in 1972 to identify priority world health problems and to report on them to the U.S. public, legislators, international and domestic government agencies, academic institutions and the global health community.

Dr. Nils Daulaire, the Global Health Council's president and CEO, was recruited in 1998 to transform the Global Health Council into a dynamic organization that puts global health squarely where it belongs: a priority for everyone, rich and poor alike.
