About Global Health Action

Global Health Action (GHA) is a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization headquartered in Decatur, Georgia. For 35 years, GHA has served the health needs of individuals, communities and countries through five programmatic initiatives: Leadership and Management Training, HIV/AIDS, Women's Health and Reproductive Health, Primary Health Care and Second Generation Organizations. To date, GHA has trained more than 7,000 health and community leaders in the United States and 89 countries worldwide.

GHA is known and recognized for its ability to design and deliver practical, customized training programs. Trainers emphasize active student participation through small group sessions, role-plays, classroom discussions, coaching sessions and tailored site visits. Each participant completes a GHA course or workshop with a concrete action plan that addresses a pressing health-related problem in his or her community.

Participants learn skills and practice techniques that encourage and equip them to make positive changes in the way they view themselves and in the ways they interact with colleagues and with the people and communities they serve.

GHA's principal areas of training are leadership, management and project planning for health professionals and community leaders. Multiple courses in leadership and management take place each year at GHA's headquarters in Decatur, Georgia. Customized in-country and Atlanta-based programs are designed upon request.
