GLOBAL INITIATIVES

Our goal is to work with universities, government and nongovernment agencies to improve the education of health professionals in their countries and to assist in developing models that will empower these professionals to provide care that will help reduce health disparities. In addition, IPHE believes in working with these agencies to provide cultural experiences in different countries as well.

Currently:

• We have a contractual partnership with the Ghana National Service Scheme (NSS) to serve as one of their providers of service and educational experiences for graduates of Ghana universities in need of fulfilling their one year public service requirements.

• Educational and Cultural excursions are offered to the country of Ghana for U.S. students, faculty and others interested in learning more about Ghanian culture. This experience includes travel to Accra, Kumasi and Cape Coast. Points of interest include the Elmina Slave Castle, home of W.E. Dubois and the Ashanti Cultural Center in Kumasi as well other attractions. Please join us for this unique West African experience.
