GRHAM The Key to… Global Religious Health Assets Mapping GRHAM is a project to map all Christian health care facilities and programs throughout the developing world. Ray Martin, Phyllis Stuckey, and Allison Herling CCIH Annual Conference, May 29, 2005

Why Mapping? Other Agencies recognize the need to work with and through FBO networks. For example: –WHO service availability mapping (SAM) –(IHP) African Religious Health Assets Project –USAID, World Bank, etc. –Pharmaceutical companies (e.g. Pfizer provided an initial grant for funding GRHAM project)
