Global Health & Childhood Cancer
Exploring Ideas. Finding Answers.
Think of GHCC as an ongoing discussion about one of the most intractable problems in global health: how to provide complex medical care in resource-constrained settings. We will explore this problem through the lens of childhood cancer, but the insights we discuss can be applied to many complex or chronic diseases. So whether you are interested in cancer or any other areas of global health, here you will find useful insights in your own life and work.
