Global health and healthcare policies play an important role for citizens around the world. Have you ever
considered how global health initiatives impact us in the United States? Global policies address an array of
health issues that include the management or spread of dangerous diseases, providing services for those in
deeply rural areas, or any number of health concerns that impact vulnerable populations.
Global organizations often combine the expertise of personnel and multiple funding options to develop policies
that serve people across the globe. Create a visual presentation (using Power Point, Google Slides, or Prezi)
of 6-8 slides that compares and contrasts the global health efforts of these organizations: Rockefeller
Foundation (Links to an external site.) and Bill Melinda Gates Foundation (Links to an external site.).
What is the purpose and structure of the organizations?
What are the goals of the organizations?
Summarize the organizations’ most significant accomplishments within the global healthcare arena.

see added as part of their purpose and mission?
