As part of its ongoing commitment to engage with the international community to
improve health worldwide, Yale has launched the Global Health Leadership
Institute (GHLI). The mission of GHLI is to develop the next generation of global
health leaders at Yale and around the world through innovative educational, training
and research programs to strengthen health systems and ensure health equity and quality of care for all. GHLI supports health leaders to improve the performance of health systems through leadership development, quality improvement programs, and health systems research. The Institute is also a center for debate and progress on leadership and other critical global health issues. GHLI is guided by a model of strategic problem solving which posits that the close integration of academic and practitioner perspectives is central to ensuring positive and lasting change. This model requires specification of the targeted problem, identification of core strategies to achieve a defined objective, leadership to implement the strategy and rigorous measurement to support continuous improvement. GHLI champions a relational framework for leadership, understanding leadership as a dynamic role within a group that can unlock synergies leading to the success of the organization.
From June 15-19, 2009, the GHLI hosted five country delegations from Ethiopia, Ghana, Liberia, Mexico and Rwanda for its inaugural conference, Strategic Problem Solving in Global Health. Through classroom learning sessions from Yale faculty, a distinguished panel of experts and facilitated work sessions, the goal of the conference was to build leadership capacity and serve as a launching point for delegations to implement focused efforts to strengthen their health systems.
