Research in Global Health

Working with our global partners, research at King's influences policy and practice improving health and wellbeing in the global south. This novel research underpins our educational and capacity-building initiatives, contributes to delivering impact and drives further innovation.

At the time of writing (Nov 24), active research projects relating to health in the global south totalled over £82m, contributing to the advancement of knowledge and practice.

The King’s research portfolio is spread across the Faculties of Life Sciences & Medicine, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, Social Science & Public Policy, Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery & Palliative Care and Dentistry, Oral & Craniofacial Sciences. As such our research portfolio is diverse. We have summarised our research into 9 main themes: Women and children’s health; Health and social science; Inequalities, society and systems; Mental health; Conflict, health and security; Cancer; Palliative care; Dental health; Climate change and health.

Many of these themes are overlapping and research agendas are pursued with a high degree of interdisciplinarity, so many researchers contribute to multiple research themes both in the UK and globally.
