    The document discusses the need for a global approach to public health challenges and education. It notes that public health issues are no longer just local or national, but global, and require cross-sectoral solutions. The Global Health Institute aims to extend knowledge through online and in-person educational experiences to build a well-prepared global public health workforce and address gaps in access, competency, and capacity. Specifically, the institute seeks to partner with institutions around the world, including in Uganda in 2010, to exchange knowledge and apply learning where students live and work.
