Seed Global Health

Seed believes in a future in which every country has a robust health workforce that is able to meet the health needs of its population. Good health is fundamental to not only survive, but to thrive. When people have access to quality health care, it is not just their health that improves; they are better able to contribute to stronger economies, greater personal and national security, and sustained prosperity. Seed educates a rising generation of health professionals and health educators, bolstering the pipeline of healthcare providers who have local knowledge and deep ties to the region. By teaching local health professionals, entire communities and countries can benefit from the "ripple effect" created when more skilled clinicians are better prepared to care for the population and serve as educators themselves for and alongside their local peers. These skilled professionals also become leaders in their health system, advocating for better health in a positive feedback loop. Seed is uniquely focused on placing skilled and qualified Educators at partner institutions for a minimum of one academic year as well as supporting educators and partner institutions through a diverse and complementary package of services aimed at advancing health professional education in the classroom and clinical setting. The net result is better care and better health for the population.
