Collaboration is Needed to Enhance Georgia’s Leadership as a Global Health Hub
Wednesday, July 29th, 2015
Georgia has a remarkable number of internationally recognized, top-tier organizations working in global health from the government, academic, non-profit, and private sectors. These organizations are helping to end diseases and improve health and well-being for people in Georgia, nationally, and abroad. Collectively, these organizations have a significant economic impact on both metro Atlanta and the state that likely exceeds tens of billions of dollars annually.
Georgia has the potential to have an even greater impact on global health through leveraging the collective strength of the Georgia-based organizations that contribute to the global health mission. Collaboration is absolutely critical in global health. The problems are far too large and costly for any one organization to solve on its own.
