Vision

A world without TB and HIV, where life-saving medicine is a right, not a privilege.

Mission

We save lives and restore health

  • We overcome barriers and ensure access to treatment and care for TB, drug-resistant TB, and HIV.

We partner locally and create a lasting impact

  • We deliver care from the hands of local people.

  • We work in partnership with national institutions and local communities to provide life-saving treatment for TB, HIV, & drug-resistant TB.

We use science to save lives

  • We save lives by pioneering new treatments and by improving global standards of care for HIV & TB.

  • We lead the way in community-based TB and drug-resistant TB treatment.

  • We uncover how the immune system fights TB and TB/HIV to save lives today and to find tomorrow’s cures.

“He who saves a single life is as though he saved the entire world”

Urgent Appeal

Cambodia

In Cambodia, the USAID funding for treatment of Drug Resistant-TB provided by Global Health Committee’s partner Cambodian Health Committee was abruptly stopped on Jan 25, 2025.

239 patients were mid-treatment.

Without health workers to monitor their treatment, these patients face poor outcomes including death—and risk spreading drug-resistant TB in their communities.

We are trying to fill the emergency to keep care going, save lives, and prevent new infections while we work to secure long-term funding.

Ethiopia

Ethiopia is currently experiencing conflict,  famine, and disease outbreaks, which create challenges to GHC’s delivery of drug-resistant TB care across the country.

Medical, social and nutritional support is urgently needed to support patients who struggle to survive through complex yet life-saving treatments to restore health and decrease the ongoing spread of TB across their communities.

 

We would be very grateful if you could consider a donation to these life-saving efforts.
