GLOBAL HEALTH COLLABORATION PROJECT

ABOUT GHCP

The Global Health Collaborative Project (GHCP) is a multidisciplinary and inter- institutional volunteer organization developed in order to improve patient health outcomes in rural Honduras. Institutions currently involved in our project include Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU), Florida State University (FSU), and Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM). The diverse disciplines represented from these institutions include allopathic and osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, public health, nursing, engineering, social work, and undergraduate studies.

OUR MISSION

The primary objective of GHCP is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the health needs of the population in rural Honduras while at the same time engaging with this population to learn more about their culture in addition to understanding their strengths. We plan to implement culturally cognizant, thoroughly researched interventions after receiving stakeholder buy-in. The program's interdisciplinary approach generates opportunities for multidimensional interventions aimed at enhancing patient care, mitigating potential harms, and addressing various acute and chronic conditions in a manner that is culturally acceptable, feasible, scalable, and sustainable.
