In global health, there is a compelling need for what we call "real collaboration" among the NGOs, governmental agencies, and granting foundations to combat some of the most pressing global health issues. Yet, collaborations in global health often fall short of what they aim to achieve. Using interviews with key global health leaders, such as Bill Foege, President Carter, Helene Gayle, Stephen Lewis, and others, our film demonstrates the significance and impact of real collaboration on global health. Finally, the film identifies the main challenges in global heath collaboration and lists six critical elements that help to build real collaboration.
