This stimulating open access volume details the innovative work of the Pan Institution Network
for Global Health in creating collaborative research-based answers to large-scale health
issues. Equitable partnerships among member universities representing North America Africa
Asia and Europe reverse standard cross-national dynamics to develop locally relevant responses
to health challenges as well as their underlying disparities. Case studies focusing on multiple
morbidities and effects of urbanization on health illustrate open dialogue in addressing HIV
maternal child health diabetes and other major concerns. These instructive examples model
collaborations between global North and South as meaningful steps toward the emerging global
future of public health. Included in the coverage: Building sustainable networks: introducing
the Pan Institution Network for Global Health Fostering dialogues in global health education: a
graduate and undergraduate approach Provider workload and multiple morbidities in the Caribbean
and South Africa Project Redemption: conducting research with informal workers in New York City
Partnership and collaboration in global health: valuing reciprocity Global Health Collaboration
will interest faculty working within the field of global health scholars within public health
health policy and cognate disciplines as well as administrators looking to develop
international university partnerships around global health and graduate students in the areas
of global health health administration and public health and related social sciences (e.g.
sociology anthropology demography).
