About GROHW
Global Registry of Humanitarian Healthcare Workforce
A platform built to make humanitarian deployments clearer, faster, and easier for everyone involved.
Across crisis and conflict settings, healthcare organizations and professionals often face the same obstacle: finding each other quickly and confidently.Systems are scattered, information is inconsistent, and valuable expertise can go unnoticed.
GROHW was created to simplify that.
Developed by the Conflict Medicine Program at the Global Health Institute, GROHW is a purpose-built digital space where professionals can showcase their skills and availability, and organizations can identify the expertise they need without navigating fragmented channels. The platform emerged from extensive conversations with humanitarian actors and frontline providers.
GROHW is not a deployment agency.
It is a trusted connector—an enabling tool that supports better visibility, smoother coordination, and more informed decision-making during both preparedness and response.
