Welcome to the King's Global Health Institute
At the King’s Global Health Institute, we believe that improving health worldwide takes more than medical breakthroughs alone. Through working closely with partners in the UK and across the world, we make sure that ways to prevent and treat ill-health fit with people’s understanding and cultures, and with the systems and services available in their communities. We are known for bridging biomedical excellence and health justice. King’s large, multi-faculty university brings together clinical science, population health, social medicine, business, policy, and the arts and humanities to address global health challenges in their full biological, social, cultural, and ethical complexity.
Our research, education, and practice are rooted in real-world contexts and long-term, trusted relationships with partner institutions. This means our work connects to everyday practice, and new findings can quickly improve care, strengthen health systems, and inform policy. We endeavour to work in solidarity with partners to set research priorities, train future leaders, and share knowledge and skills so everyone benefits from innovation.
Our three core activities, crossing research, education, and practice, are:
Reaching More People with Effective Health Care.
Discovery Science with Purpose.
Harnessing Technologies to Meet People’s Needs.
These activities are underpinned by our four core approaches, which are to:
* Place our partners front and centre of research and practice
* Amplify the impact of research-oriented organisations in the Global South
* Nurture the next generation of global health practitioners and researchers, and
* Build education for future students which reaches them in their home country
