Our mission and why it matters
Our department brings together world-leading centres to tackle global health challenges through cutting-edge research, education, and innovation.
From advancing economic evaluations and health financing strategies to addressing the global burden of non-communicable diseases, we are committed to improving health equity. We pioneer pragmatic health trials, develop impactful interventions, and lead research on the health impacts of climate change and conflict—especially in fragile and humanitarian settings.
Together, we are shaping resilient health systems and healthier communities worldwide.
