At Rutgers Global Health Institute, we view health as a matter of social justice and “global health” as a matter of equity, not geography. All over the world, and right here in New Jersey, there are tremendous disparities in access to care and in the conditions that make good health possible. Every gift to the institute supports our work to address these disparities.
To explore major gift opportunities, please contact Hailey Lemasters, assistant director of development.
If you would like to make a gift today, you can choose one of the following two areas of impact:
1) Botswana-Rutgers Partnership for Health Fund
Cancer kills nearly 10 million people a year worldwide, but the risk of dying from cancer varies greatly depending on where you live. About 70 percent of these deaths are in low- and middle-income countries—and the disparity is worsening.
Rutgers Global Health Institute, alliance members, and health ministries have created Go Together, a global alliance to expand the cancer care workforce in sub-Saharan Africa, to help address cancer inequities in the region. Go Together serves as a multisectoral, multicounty leadership alliance that creates joint initiatives for training, for workforce development, and for sharing knowledge and best practices to enhance cancer care across sub-Saharan Africa.
Go Together alliance members in each African country will include:
- Ministries of health
- African universities
- Pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and therapeutic companies
- Industry experts
- International and nongovernmental cancer organizations
- Patients, survivors, and caregivers
As the African Proverb tells us, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Only together can we all go far.
