Spearheaded in 2004 by Daniel Diermeier and Northwestern University Professor David Kelso (from the McCormick School of Engineering), the Global Health Initiative (GHI) is a partnership between private industry, non-profit donors and academia to develop products that address health issues facing underserved communities around the world.

The goal of GHI is to create a new model for activism and philanthropy, particularly within the area of healthcare and treating infectious diseases. GHI forms an alliance between private pharmaceutical companies, non-profit donors, the McCormick School of Engineering and the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
