🌍 Elevating Rural Health: Join the GRACE Initiative!
Are you or your organization a champion of rural healthcare?
GRACE (Global Rural health Action Collaboration Excellence) is a vital initiative by Rural WONCA to recognize and connect the world’s leading academic, health service, professional, workforce, and multidisciplinary centers dedicated to rural health.
Our Mission: To combat professional isolation, close the urban-rural health divide, and build a resilient, interconnected global workforce that shapes future health policies.
How to Join (Become a Designated Partner):
The GRACE network is built on collaboration and mutual recognition. Organizations are designated based on their proven commitment and action in rural health across five key categories.
• Become a Member: Designated GRACE partner organizations are invited to become members of the extended Rural WONCA Council—the central multidisciplinary body advising on strategy. Interested organisations may directly contact Rural WONCA.
• Maintain Designation: Partners foster internal reflection and network learning by submitting a concise Annual Impact and Activities Report that highlights yearly achievements and new rural-centric programs.
The Rural WONCA serves as the core body for networking and communication. By formalizing this global partnership, GRACE is working to transform the delivery of equitable, high-quality care to rural populations worldwide.
