Cambridge Global Health Partnerships (CGHP) is a charitable organisation that facilitates equitable and collaborative health partnerships between institutions in Cambridge and the East of England and in global majority (i.e., low- and middle-income) countries.
By connecting people and institutions across the world and encouraging knowledge exchange via two-way teaching, learning and training, we aim to strengthen healthcare systems and address some of the biggest health challenges of our time.
For nearly 20 years, CGHP has supported safe, ethical and effective long-term health partnerships, and provided advice, guidance and funding to individuals and teams participating in global health opportunities beyond our partnerships. CGHP-supported health partnerships bring together clinical and non-clinical healthcare workers, students and academics at all levels and disciplines to collaborate with partners and colleagues in hospitals and healthcare institutions in global majority countries.
Through hybrid working (i.e., working in-person and remotely), individuals and teams co-develop and co-deliver projects, improving healthcare practice and patient outcomes locally and internationally. These collaborative projects are beneficial for everyone involved; growing knowledge, skills and experience for the individuals while also building the capacity and capability of the UK and partner organisations.
By working to improve healthcare for all and tackle health inequalities in a sustainable way, our work contributes directly towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3 of “ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages”.
