Health for all, in a global context

Mission and goals

The Global Health research program aims to contribute to health for all in a global context through inter- and transdisciplinary research collaboration that fosters interaction between theory, policy and practice.

The research provides insights in key issues in:

• The role of urbanization on health in low-resource settings, and the vulnerable migrant populations globally, including high-income countries;
• Factors affecting maternal health and the health of the early life including poverty, malnutrition, low education and poor access to healthcare services;
• Surveillance, disease program evaluations, transmission models, antimicrobial resistance, and preventive strategies of several communicable diseases.

We examine health systems strengthening particularly in low-resource settings to improve universal health coverage.

Program leaders

Senior program council

The program leaders of the Global Health research program chair the GH Senior program council. This senior program council consist of a selection of senior researchers of the research program who meet regularly to implement or update the research program-specific strategy and to discuss anticipatory or reactive response to external events.

Junior program council

The Global Health research program has installed a GH Junior program council that provides program leaders with solicited and unsolicited advice and helps them with the organization of research program-specific activities or events.
