The GHI programs are interdisciplinary in context and function and tackle global health challenges through research and advocacy. The programs represent eminent global health challenges, though relevant to the MENA region, that have not been addressed contextually by interdisciplinary teams and through an institutional academic platform such as GHI. Four programs that embrace those principles have been launched: E-Sahha Program (ESP), Conflict Medicine Program (CMP), and Refugee Health Program (RHP).
