Global OHNS Initiative

Global OHNS Initiative is a small research-focused organization headquartered in Durham, North Carolina. Employing five individuals, the initiative generates an annual revenue of $50 million. The organization operates as a global network dedicated to enhancing access to high-quality and affordable Otolaryngology-Head Neck Surgery (OHNS) care worldwide. The Global OHNS Initiative's core mission is to improve the availability, accessibility, and quality of global OHNS subspecialty care through a combination of research and advocacy efforts. Their research endeavors focus on advancing OHNS care across the globe, particularly within resource-constrained healthcare systems. They aim to inform policy by addressing global OHNS practice challenges and priorities through their research findings. A key aspect of the Global OHNS Initiative's approach is strengthening research capacity in low and middle income countries (LMICs) through mentorship and collaborative partnerships. They strive to build strategic relationships with stakeholders and institutions globally to foster the exchange of knowledge and skills. This collaborative effort supports initiatives aimed at addressing global OHNS workforce needs, equipment accessibility, training, and education.
