A series of Case Studies for Global Health have recently been published by a partnership of leading global health organizations.  This publication highlights collaborations that are built and/or transactions that are entered into which address a global health concern.

This groundbreaking project has collected case studies that provide others with information on current practices and insight on lessons learned (both positive and negative) in the course of conducting activities relating to global health matters.

The case studies were compiled by the Alliance for Case Studies for Global Health – a partnership between the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, World Health Organization's Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR), Global Health Progress (GHP), International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) and Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM).

Information on many other programs and partnerships working to improve the health and well-being of people around the world can be found at www.globalhealthprogress.org.

Global health concern refers to those diseases that have a disproportionate impact on developing countries, but need not be the sole focus of the collaboration or transaction.
