Mobile Global Health Supercourse

Mobile-Global Health aims to improve global health and prevention using inexpensive mobile technology, providing an open-source PowerPoint lecture library for educators worldwide. The Supercourse model connects a large multidisciplinary network with 46,000 members in 172 countries, offering 4650 lectures to over 1 million students. The platform's rapid response during the H1N1 crisis delivered trusted information in multiple languages to over 50 million people, solidifying its position as a leading educational resource. The Mobile-Global Health components include a Supercourse app, expert knowledge reachback, global telehouse inspection, media links, disaster knowledge, academic-industry partnerships, global surveillance, and surveys. As Nelson Mandela said, education is a powerful tool for change, and mobile-global health education is no exception, wielding the power to transform the health of our world.
