The Centre for Global Health (CGH) is an initiative of the Faculty of Medicine (MedFac), hosted by the Institute of Health and Society (HELSAM). The focus of the CGH is to support and link the existing strong knowledge base of Global Health research at MedFac to relevant networks, and human and financial resources, while further enhancing Global Health research capacity within the university. Another key function of CGH is to disseminate information to the wider community of researchers, decision makers and the public, while enhancing the Global Health profile of MedFac through high quality events, communication and reporting.
Vision
To facilitate capacity development in research and education in Global Health at MedFac and UiO and with relevant (external) players.
Mission
Overall, the mission of CGH is to strengthen the multidisciplinary cooperation at MedFac and UiO and other leading academic institutions. More concretely, CGH will build sustainable research excellence programs in selected Global Health research areas that, in addition to its scientific value, reaches into society and influences policy in the Global Health Arena in Norway and abroad, thereby becoming a leading national and international Global Health network/institution.
The Centre for Global Health actively participates in Global Health Norway / The Norwegian Forum for Global Health Research, and in the management of Norwegian Research School of Global Health. The CGH is hosting the NORPART EXCEL SMART Project.
