Consortium of Universities for Global Health

Higher EducationDistrict of Columbia, United States11-50 Employees

The Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) is a nonprofit network of higher education institutions established in 2008 to address global health through collaboration. It now comprises more than 190 universities across high-, middle-, and low-income countries. The organization seeks to bridge education, research, and service by promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and the exchange of expertise, with a focus on reducing health disparities and building enduring ties between universities in resource-rich and resource-poor settings, and turning knowledge into practical action.

Based in Washington, D.C., CUGH operates as a relatively small nonprofit within the higher education sector coordinating its global member network. It has hosted an annual conference since 2009; the 15th edition was planned for March in Los Angeles under the theme "Global Health Without Borders: Acting for Impact," and the organization launched Virtual Global Health Week 2025.
