Health Systems Global (HSG)

Meet the team

Governed by its members for its members

Health Systems Global (HSG) is governed by its members for its members, keeping our member needs and priorities at the center of all we do.

We believe in investing in our community to make sure the right skills are in place at HSG to allow it to grow, responding to new opportunities and challenges as they emerge.

HSG’s Board membership includes Board Officers and six Board Members, one is elected from each of the six World Health Organization (WHO) regions. In addition, there are Board standing committees and working groups. These committees and groups shape the society’s work. All positions are held on a voluntary basis.
