The Global Institute at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine is a prominent advocate of global health equity and humanitarian disaster relief. We help communities and organizations build capacity in health care, disaster response and community health.
With our renowned expertise and programs, we now assist many more communities locally and internationally that are facing natural or manmade disasters. From the hurricane-devastated islands in the Bahamas to the embattled cities of Ukraine and beyond, we have built a reputation for always answering “yes” to communities in need.
