About Us

The Ohio State University chapter of VAW Global Health Alliances (VAW Global) is made up of students who are enthusiastic and committed to addressing the health disparities that currently exist in developing countries. Through close collaboration with VAW Global, our club at Ohio State University strives to provide rural communities in developing countries with access to medical treatment, medication, and nutritional and health education.

If you're interested in global medicine and want to be part of one of the Ohio State University’s most engaged clubs on campus, become a member and check out our website for more information, or attend one of our info sessions!

In 2023, VAW Global treated over 17,500 patients and we aspire to treat over 20,000 in 2024! One of the things that make our mobile clinics unique is that we not only triage and diagnose patients, but also provide them with the basic medications needed. Fundraising for medications is a huge part of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care. **Note: airfare is not included
