Global Health Leaders Forum

About the Global Health Leaders Forum

The Global Health Leaders Forum, hosted in partnership with the Bloomberg School of Public Health's Department of International Health, features a series of speakers who are influential in the field of global health. We identify three or four speakers each year and invite them to travel to Hopkins, where they give a speech to the Hopkins community on a global health topic.
