Global Health Initiatives

Morehouse School of Medicine’s Office of Global Health Equity (OGHE) is a multidisciplinary, cross-cutting office that
integrates Morehouse School of Medicine’s (MSM) diverse expertise, departments, institutes, and centers towards the reduction of health disparity and the ultimate advancement of global health equity.
