The Global Health Initiative is a cross-departmental research platform initiated by the Departments of International Development, Psychological and Behavioural Science and the LSE Health & Social Care Research Centre within the Department of Social Policy. Its goal is to increase the coherence and visibility of Global Health research activity across the School, both internally and externally, by providing a platform and support for interdisciplinary engagement. The initiative’s work will apply LSE’s tradition of rigorous social science research to emerging global health challenges.
The initiative was officially launched to the public on Tuesday 24 October 2017. The event included a keynote from Geeta Rao Gupta, Executive Director of the 3D Program for Girls and Women and Senior Fellow at the United Nations Foundation. This was followed by a panel of LSE experts including Professor Catherine Campbell (from the Department of Psychological and Behavioural Science) and Professor Elias Mossialos, showcasing the range of global health activity taking place at LSE.
