title: Building international collaborations from the ground up: Brown University partnerships in Haiti and Ukraine.
abstract: The world is becoming more interconnected with a need for a global approach to healthcare. Brown University has remained a leader in global health through clinical service, education, cutting edge research and dedication to the development of sustainable global partnerships. We describe two programs from the ground up in Haiti and Ukraine, and the important lessons learned in their development. The path towards the development of global health programs in Ukraine and Haiti both illustrate that although circumstances may vary between global health programs, the recipe for successful collaboration is the same: identifying specific needs, developing strong and sustained partnerships, and addressing barriers by crafting effective solutions to ongoing challenges.
