WHO WE ARE
The Center for Global Health Equity at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute envisions a world where cancer outcomes are not determined by where a person lives. Established in 2023, the Center works to centralize and enhance the institution’s global health activities, addressing inequities in cancer prevention, care, and outcomes. The CGHE primarily focuses on activities in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC) and other underserved global regions. The CGHE serves as a coordinating center, housing existing DFCI global health centers and activities, while also exploring new opportunities for partnering and developing innovative programming.
WHAT WE DO
The CGHE brings together clinicians, researchers, faculty, fellows, students, and others at DFCI who are working to address inequities and improve oncology outcomes for populations in resource-limited settings. These programs cut across the CGHE’s three pillars: education & training, research, and clinical care capacity building. Click on the following programs to learn more:
