About US:
The extreme
disparity in health outcomes and access to healthcare that exists today between
the world’s rich and the world’s poor is unjust and unsustainable. To change
this unacceptable status quo will require a new generation of leaders with
diverse skills and backgrounds. Emerging leaders need opportunities to build their
skills and build meaningful connections with other young leaders who share a
vision for transformative change.
