Global Health Corps is a U.S. non-profit organization for health equity. It mobilizes a global community of emerging leaders to build the movement for health equity.

GHC pairs young professionals from the United States and abroad to work in paid, year-long fellowships with organizations serving poor communities in East Africa, Southern Africa, and the United States. Global Health Corps recruits fellows from a wide range of skill sets. Fellows work in teams of two; each pair is made up of one American fellow and one international fellow to promote cross-cultural awareness and understanding. Current fellowships range in focus from supply chain management for medicines, computer programming for electronic medical records, architecture for new hospitals, and monitoring and evaluation for interventions to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV.

The Global Health Corps program consists of three primary components: creating effective partnerships, training and supporting emerging leaders and connecting alumni and building community.

Since its founding in 2009, GHC has deployed 322 fellows to work in 7 countries (in East and Southern Africa and the US). Currently, their fifth class consists of 106 fellows from 16 countries working within 44 non-profit and government partners.
