Nursing Scholarship 2024-University of Global Health Equity
About The University of Global Health Equity (UGHE):
UGHE, a Rwandan university, is transforming global healthcare by preparing the next generation of global health professionals to become leaders and changemakers, reimagining health education to ensure equitable, quality health services.
The global health education system is failing to prepare students to tackle pressing health challenges, such as containing new diseases like Ebola and addressing noncommunicable diseases. To address these issues, UGHE is reimagining global health education to prepare students for these challenges.
UGHE brings a new approach to recruiting and training health professionals. An initiative of Partners In Health and led by internationally recognized faculty and staff from around the world, UGHE is an independent university that builds on PIH’s three decades of experience in delivering health services to some of the world’s poorest communities.
Our unique focus on practical experience outside the classroom ensures that students understand the complexity of delivering care in all settings. We prepare our students to serve in any environment with humility and compassion. By infusing the best new ideas in higher education and partnering with top universities and faculty from all over the world, UGHE students become changemakers. Our graduates will serve as government officials developing innovative policies to expand life-saving programs. They will be clinicians who diagnose and treat physical and social factors making their patients sick. They will lead programs and NGOs to improve health and save lives.
Our vision is a world where every individual—no matter who they are or where they live— can lead a healthy and productive life.
