Around the world, communities, in collaboration with scientists, activists, governments, and international organizations, are working together to prevent disease and improve quality of life.

Recognizing the multiple factors that cause illness, these global health leaders take an expansive view of health and medical care. They work on projects that improve access to primary healthcare, reduce discrimination, and address health information needs. Communities and healthcare workers come together to prevent disease, conduct cutting-edge research, end conflict, and recover after natural disasters.

This exhibition was developed and produced by the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health. 

The Global Health Education Program aims to cultivate the global health physician using a step-wise approach to introduce students to health equity. 

The Global Health tab on the Environmental & Global Health Library Guide, curated by Public Health librarian Courtney Pyche, provides resources for researching and learning about global health.
