The Global Advisory Board (GAB) is an internationally assembled group of experts, consisting of representatives of universities, health care organizations, relevant businesses and other representatives from the global health field.
The role of Global Advisory Board is to support the Global Health Institute's strategic vision on both conceptual and programmatic levels and to assist in developing key relationships among universities, health organizations, corporate executives, industry associations and appropriate government agencies.
