Global Health Initiatives

CIGHT’s commitment to global health manifests itself through a
unique research andcape_town development model that leverages creative partnerships among universities, global healthcare companies, and not-for-profits. Together, CIGHT multidisciplinary teams of engineering, medical, and business specialists provide the expertise necessary to bring innovative, affordable, and resilient healthcare solutions to resource-limited settings, while CIGHT partnerships with local community leaders and workers help create effective advocates for positive interventions in local healthcare systems.

CIGHT's streamlined organizational structure integrates its education and research mission with product development and deployment. Design teams include faculty and students at all levels who together shepherd new designs through all stages of development and testing.
