Catholic Health Association of the US Guiding Principles for Conducting Global Health Activities

Catholic Health Association of the US and its members have named six Guiding Principles for Conducting Global Health Activities. These principles bring to life the richness of Catholic social tradition. Based loosely on the Oath for Compassionate Service in the book “Toxic Charity” by Robert Lupton and insights from a special workgroup CHA convened to examine current international health program practice in light of our ministry’s commitments, they are offered to help Catholic health care most appropriately conduct international programs.
