Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH)

The Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) is a rapidly growing Washington, DC based organization of over 130 academic institutions and other organizations from around the world engaged in addressing global health challenges. CUGH was established in 2008 with generous funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and The Rockefeller Foundation.
