GHD is developing a series of in-depth global health case studies that serve as core elements of the GHD curriculum and education programs, and as research tools in developing frameworks for health care delivery.

The case studies follow the Harvard Business School model and explore successes and failures in health care delivery worldwide, providing a strategic understanding for the creation, scaling-up, and replication of programs and services. They document the experiences of health care programs and organizations in the field, and examine the role of diverse factors on program strategy, design, and implementation. Discussions of case studies are designed to bring the complexity of real-world situations into the classroom, allowing students to analyze problems and explore potential solutions thereby preparing them for leadership challenges on the ground.

GHD has developed more than 25 cases on a range of topics such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, polio, maternal and child health, nutrition, and tobacco control. Partners In Health: HIV Care in Rwanda is currently available via Harvard Business School Publishing with more to follow in 2010.

In partnership with our founding collaborators and partners in education, we are continually developing novel teaching materials and academic courses explicitly focused on the delivery of care, as well as innovative residency and fellowship opportunities in-country for practitioners. We are currently working to expand the reach of the GHD curricula to other colleges and universities worldwide, and on developing new executive programs.
