Cambridge Global Health Partnerships

What Cambridge Global Health Partnerships does

Cambridge Global Health Partnerships (CGHP) is a UK-registered charity (charity no. 1170103-113, Company limited no. 10469089) operating as a linked charity to Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust (ACT), founded in 2007 and headquartered at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge with a 19-person team. It functions as a hub and convener for global health partnerships across the East of England, linking NHS staff, medical students, and academic clinicians with hospitals, universities, and health ministries in more than 15 countries spanning Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Central America. The model is explicitly reciprocal — designed to deliver mutual knowledge exchange, capacity building, and workforce development rather than one-way aid.

Its core services are programmatic rather than technological: the Global Health Fellowship Scheme (annual cohorts of trainees), Health Partnerships Coordination (multi-year partnerships with named institutions such as Makerere University, Mulago National Referral Hospital, Kakamega County General Teaching and Referral Hospital, Uganda Cancer Institute, the Botswana Ministry of Health and Wellness, and Dr Shroff's Charity Eye Hospital), an Ethical Electives programme for medical students, a Grant Scheme providing up to £1,000 to NHS staff/students for global health involvement, the bi-annual East of England Global Health Conference, and a paid Global Health Volunteer Programme pre-deployment training course (£300, two days) run with NHS England. CGHP does not develop or operate proprietary software; its "platform" is the institutional relationships, governance, and convening infrastructure described above.

Revenue is generated through charitable donations from individuals and NHS-affiliated supporters, restricted grant funding (notably via the Commonwealth Partnerships for Antimicrobial Stewardship / CwPAMS programme funded by the UK Department of Health and Social Care's Fleming Fund and managed through Global Health Partnerships and the Commonwealth Pharmacists Association), foundation partnerships (e.g., the Rama Foundation for the Uttarakhand-Cambridge partnership), the £300 training course fees, and a Giving Circle. CGHP is registered with the UK Fundraising Regulator and operates a GDPR-compliant data-handling framework. Geographic reach spans the United Kingdom (East of England NHS trusts) and partner countries including Uganda, Kenya, India, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone, Malawi, Jordan, Myanmar, El Salvador, Nepal, Tanzania, and South Africa.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Wellcome Trust: A major UK-based global health funder whose grants support many of the same LMIC health systems strengthening activities CGHP participates in. While not a direct operational peer, it sits in the same ecosystem as a potential funder and ecosystem shaper.
• Partners In Health: A major global health organization focused on healthcare delivery and capacity building in resource-limited settings, with established partnerships across multiple countries — comparable mission to CGHP at substantially greater scale and geographic footprint.

Direct peers

• Rwanda-UK Health Alliance: An umbrella alliance coordinating UK-Rwanda health partnerships — analogous to the Uganda UK Health Alliance that CGHP participates in through the Kampala-Cambridge partnership, and comparable in mission and bilateral methodology.
• Global Health Corps: Operates a global fellowship programme placing early-career professionals in health organizations across Africa and the US, comparable to CGHP's fellowship scheme in target audience, mission, and community-development approach.
• UCL Institute for Global Health: UCL's dedicated global health institute facilitates health partnerships, research, and training programmes with LMIC partners — directly comparable to CGHP in tying a UK university to international health systems strengthening.
• Global Health Partnerships (formerly THET): The umbrella organization for UK health partnerships, of which CGHP is an active member partner. THET manages CwPAMS and other grant programmes that CGHP delivers through, making it the closest structural peer in mission, methodology, and funder relationships.
• Amref Health Africa: Africa's largest health development NGO, working on health systems strengthening across multiple African countries via partnerships with NHS, academic, and government institutions — comparable to CGHP in reciprocal partnership methodology and LMIC focus, though at significantly larger scale.
• King's Global Health Partnerships: King's College London's global health partnerships programme operates with the same NHS-university hybrid model as CGHP, coordinating UK-LMIC health partnerships across multiple African and Asian countries with reciprocal capacity-building methodology.

Others

• Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene: A professional society supporting tropical medicine and global health practitioners through training, conferences, and grants — adjacent to CGHP in audience (NHS and academic global health professionals) and overlapping conference/training ecosystem.

Regional players

• Scotland's Global Health Partnerships: A regional counterpart to CGHP coordinating Scottish NHS and academic global health partnerships with LMIC institutions. Operates the same partnership model as CGHP but serves Scotland rather than the East of England.
