The study reports that Washington s global health community is over 250 organizations strong and contributes $8.8 billion in economic impact for the state. Global health organizations currently employ more than 14,000 people in Washington working to solve some of the world s most complex problems. The region s Global Health industry leads the world in infectious disease research and development of medical devices and is tied into other regional industries such as information technology, life sciences and agriculture, contributing to Washington s leadership in technology, engineering, and research and development across sectors. WGHA connects and informs Washington s global health community, creating a culture of collaboration at home so its members can have more impact in the world. Founded in 2007, WGHA was the first organization of its kind and has more than 70 members working to achieve health equity.
