IntraHealth International

About

IntraHealth International was established in 1979 as Intrah, a program focused on international training in health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The organization has since transformed into a prominent global health nonprofit, dedicated to improving the performance of health workers and strengthening healthcare systems across more than 100 countries. By forging partnerships with governments and local organizations, IntraHealth mobilizes resources and expertise to address health challenges at the community level, ensuring that populations receive the essential care they require to thrive. Throughout its decades-long journey, IntraHealth has remained committed to the principles of locally led solutions and sustainable development. With initiatives that emphasize training and capacity-building for health professionals, IntraHealth empowers communities to design and implement their health interventions. This focus on local expertise is crucial in creating resilient health systems, particularly in low-resource settings. In 2024, IntraHealth became a subsidiary of Global Communities, further enhancing its capability to impact global health positively. Through innovative strategies and a commitment to health equity, IntraHealth continues to be at the forefront of improving global health outcomes.
