True advances in the care of children with cancer and blood diseases will not occur until all children, regardless of their place of birth, have access to care. The Global Health Initiative (GHI) at Dana-Farber/Boston Children’s has become a leader in developing outreach initiatives that improve outcomes and survival rates for children with cancer and blood disorders worldwide.

Through the Global Health Initiative, Dana-Farber/Boston Children’s brings together faculty, fellows, nurses, social workers, psychologists, health educators, and managers who are involved in international projects on childhood cancer. All Global Health Initiative activities include ongoing efforts to establish twinning partnerships with sites in low- and middle-income countries and are centered around three objectives:

  1. Program building
  2. Education
  3. Research
