The future of the health workforce starts here.
IntraHealth International is a global health nonprofit that has worked in over 100 countries since 1979. We partner with governments and local collaborators to improve the performance of health workers and strengthen the systems in which they work so that everyone everywhere has the health care they need to thrive.
Because next-generation challenges in global health call for new and extraordinary partnerships, IntraHealth joins forces with governments, businesses, technologists, artists, activists, and more to cultivate local solutions with lasting results. IntraHealth’s programs generate long-term social and economic impact to keep communities around the world healthy, strong, and prosperous.
We focus on health workers. Without them, health care doesn't happen.

Our Story
IntraHealth was born in 1979 as Intrah, the Program for International Training in Health, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine. From the beginning, our focus was on health workers and their role in improving the health of women and their families. IntraHealth incorporated as an independent nonprofit organization in 2003 and now has a staff of over 480 employees working in 34 countries in Africa, the Americas, and Asia. In May 2024, IntraHealth became a subsidiary of Global Communities, an organization with a shared commitment to saving lives, advancing equity, and strengthening local capacity.
