Global Health Alliance

What Global Health Alliance does

Global Health Alliance (GHA Health), incorporated in the United Kingdom as Global Health Alliance Limited, is a medical education consortium that delivers CPD/CME-accredited short courses and certificate programs to healthcare professionals. The offering spans online self-paced courses in cardiology, echocardiography, ECG, palliative care, heart failure, cardio-renal-metabolic medicine, lipid management, plus Health Ambassador and SDG Ambassador programs. The technology stack is a WordPress-based learning management system with PayPal payment processing, Google and Apple SSO, Zoom-hosted live events, and an Android mobile app (iOS stated as coming soon).

The business operates a hybrid model. The UK business runs on a freemium product-led growth engine: free GHA Network membership delivers a 15% discount on paid certificate courses and access to free CPD-accredited courses and live events, including the annual GHA One World Summit. In India, the company runs GHA Life Support Academy, a direct-sales onsite training division offering BLS, ALS, PALS, NRP, First Aid, and emergency response courses for healthcare professionals, corporates, schools, and the public, delivered under a joint certification partnership with Max Institute of Medical Education (MIME) and at Max Super Speciality Hospital in New Delhi. Pricing for online courses is one-time and ranges from £42.50 to £300, with members receiving a 15% discount.

Revenue mechanics combine low-ticket individual course sales, freemium-to-paid conversion via membership, onsite professional services in India, and Medical Affairs/Advisory Board consulting for pharmaceutical and healthcare organizations. Faculty is drawn from UK institutions including University of Leeds, Birmingham City Hospital, St George's University Hospital, and Broomfield Hospital, supporting the company's positioning as an academic consortium rather than a traditional corporate operator.

Comparable content offering but operates as part of a broader hospital enterprise rather than a standalone medical education platform.

Regional players

• Royal College of Physicians CPD Programme: UK-based professional medical body providing accredited CPD resources, courses, and events to physicians. Comparable to GHA's UK-focused CPD/CME portfolio but anchored in a royal college credential rather than consortium structure.
