Doctors for Global Health

Doctors for Global Health (DGH) is a private, not-for-profit organization promoting health, education, art and other human rights throughout the world. Our principles of action outline the basics of our organization's values.

DGH is comprised of hundreds of health professionals, students, educators, artists, attorneys, engineers, retirees and others.Together we build long-term relationships between people and communities around the world to find effective solutions to social justice issues.

Though many of us are health professionals, our solutions extend far beyond the medical. We volunteer our time and expertise in communities that invite us to join them. We fund and support local projects that build on the energy, creativity and passion of local leaders. We educate and advocate for domestic and foreign policies that promote justice and peace. We accompany communities in fulfilling health and other human rights.
