IGHID Mission Statement
UNC-Chapel Hill is committed to improving health in North Carolina and around the world. The UNC Institute for Global Health and Infectious Diseases (IGHID) will advance this goal by promoting global health research, teaching, and service activities across campus. IGHID recognizes that the most pressing health challenges and emerging diseases know no boundaries: global health is local health. IGHID will foster an environment in which faculty, students, and the broader University community work together in unique and innovative ways to address critical issues in global health, and to shape the next generation of global health leaders.
