Global Health Strategy & CommunicationsImproving global health may well be the defining public policy issue of the 21st century. Each year millions of the world’s poorest die from preventable diseases, while lack of funding and other barriers stall research in preventing and curing diseases. Smart global health organizations are discovering that they can increase impact through strategic online communications. Forum One is a leader in online collaboration in the field of global health. We work with leading organizations to have a substantive impact on challenging health issues, drawing on our expertise in internet technology, communications strategy, health policy and international development. Online strategies and tools provide our clients with opportunities to make progress – in research, outreach, professional support, community-building and collaboration.
