CENTER FOR GLOBAL HEALTH

"Encouraging Activism in Global Health"

The Center for Global Health (CGH) at the University of Colorado formed in response to the rapid spread of new and emerging diseases, environmental hazards and the effects of globalization on developing nations. These global health issues and others illustrate our interdependence and vulnerability in the face of global developments and threats.
