Global Health Operations Committee
CUGH recognizes that facilitating administrative functions, processes, and services are vital to effectively supporting the global health enterprise.
The Global Health Operations Committee (GHOC) works to identify and develop guiding principles to enhance university and organizational administrations’ procedural and financial alignment with programmatic priorities in global health, education, research, and service activities.
The GHOC develops strategies to effectively respond to global opportunities and share best practices for, amongst other things:
Managing international risk;
Developing legal frameworks;
Establishing and sustaining global health partnerships.

Featured Member Publications
The GHOC has developed a Travel Toolkit that combines information and resources to assist those engaging in international travel for global health work.
The GHOC has also prepared, in collaboration with colleagues from low and middle income countries (LMIC), a series of considerations to guide partnerships with those in LMICs in a way that is responsive to their local context. The documents are in progress.
The GHOC operates a listserv which CUGH members can use to ask questions and share information about operational issues of interest to global health practitioners.
