Global Health Fellows

The Global Health Fellows Program (GHF) is an international corporate volunteer program that places Pfizer colleagues and teams in short term assignments with leading international development organizations in key emerging markets. During assignments Fellows transfer their professional medical and business expertise in ways that promote access, quality and efficiency of health services for people in greatest need.

Since 2003, over 300 Pfizer colleagues, from offices around the world, have participated in the program working in close to 45 countries. Assignments are focused on optimizing supply chains and business functions, and scaling up promising health prevention approaches. Via the program, Pfizer has partnered with over 40 international development organizations.
