WHY WAS THE GHD CREATED? Challenges such as chronic and infectious diseases; the development of better and more accessible health systems; the reduction of poverty and inequities; the consequences of societal and conflict related displacement; and the existential planetary threats of climate change are at the heart modern health and development. Such complex and rapidly evolving challenges will require approaches that consider the health of people and the development of communities and countries together and ideas that combine and cross disciplines. The GHD was created to better prepare the next generation of leaders who will work on (and solve) such deeply important challenges.
