Global Is Local
An important part of DGHI’s approach to global health is that it is not limited by geography. As part of DGHI’s strategic plan, the institute is committed to advancing global health research and educational efforts that are focused on health issues and vulnerable populations in the Durham community, as well as other communities throughout North Carolina and the southern United States.
