The Executive Program
Over the next three years, we aim to equip over 100 future health leaders with practical health diplomacy skills. This program follows a unique 'practitioner-to-practitioner' approach, connecting experienced leaders in global health with the next generation of health leaders skilled in health diplomacy
This is the primary component of the initiative and will take 25-30 mid-career global health leaders (Fellows) every year from around the world and across sectors. Demand for this program is very high following a successful first program in 2024.
