The Arnhold Institute for Global Health and Health System Design at Mount Sinai is thrilled to welcome Anu-Raga Mahalingashetty as our new Associate Director for Global Partnerships and Programs! Anu's appointment is pivotal in advancing our mission efforts to increase access to high quality healthcare for all and improve the health of the world's most undeserved people.


Anu's extensive expertise and passion for collaboration align perfectly with the Arnhold Institute's efforts to build deep institutional partnerships focused on equity and impact on community health. Over the last 16+ years, Anu has worked to develop impactful programs through organizations like the Global Health Corps, BRAC, and more recently the Global Alliance for TB Drug Development (TB Alliance).

As the Manager of External Affairs at the TB Alliance in New York, Anu successfully helped to secure $195 million in funding by fostering collaboration through strategic planning with senior leadership and partners. She helped reduce departmental silos and strengthened cross-functional project management. Anu managed the TB Alliance's strategic partnerships within the European Union Innovative Medicines Initiative - an international initiative with over 41 public-partners and a project portfolio valued at €489 million. Anu also spearheaded important diversity and inclusion initiatives at TB Alliance for improved R&D programming. Prior to working with the TB Alliance, Anu served as a Senior Program Associate at BRAC USA and helped to secure $30 million in institutional funding for adolescent sexual and reproductive health programs across sub-Saharan and West Africa. This extensive experience underscores Anu's commitment to advancing global health solutions and addressing social inequities.


In her new role, Anu will oversee the implementation and coordination of the Institute and Department's global strategic partnership and program strategies. She will work closely with the Department and Institute's global strategic partnership and program teams - Ghana, AMPATH Kenya, AMPATH Nepal, and New York partnerships as well as our Education, Research, and Global Youth Health programs - to ensure the overall success of our care, education, and research missions. Together with our Institute leadership, Anu will work to ensure our partnerships and programs have the resources, funding, and support they need to grow and succeed. Anu will report to David Plater, Director of Global Partnerships and Operations.


We are confident that Anu's leadership and experience will be an enormous asset to our Institute and Department as we continue to grow our global partnerships and programs.

Sincerely,


David Plater
