Global Health Service Corps (GHSC) Changes Name to Seed Global Health
Statement from Chief Executive Officer Vanessa Kerry, MD
(Boston, MA, USA – May 15, 2013)- "We believe our new name Seed Global Health truly captures the scope and mission of our work which is to cultivate stronger, sustainable health systems through training a new generation of physicians and nurses in countries where they are needed most. Our first class of nurses and doctors will be supported by work we have done to fund and prepare for their departure to countries in July.
"Our name is changing, but not our innovative public-private partnership with the Peace Corps, the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) — the Global Health Service Partnership (GHSP)- and the countries where we work. We are extremely proud to be sending our first class of GHSP volunteers — 33 doctors and nurses — to serve as adjunct faculty in medical and nursing schools in Malawi, Tanzania, and Uganda this July. They are truly an impressive group of nurse practitioners, midwives, pediatricians, OB/GYN's, psychiatrists, anesthesiologists, family and internal medicine doctors who will work with faculty in the host countries to develop curriculum and help train a new generation of doctors and nurses."
