The Global Health Academy initiative cuts across the
traditional vertical health structures moving to novel
integrated health systems training. Our aim is to
promote a global community of practice where
students can access multiple strands of knowledge
from many different experts to tackle some of the
biggest challenges in the 21st century.

For example, non-communicable diseases are changing
the face of African, Asian and Latin American health
and healthcare and require not just disease specialists
but experts in logistics, in training and policy and in
technologies especially, e- and m-health, in order to
create stronger community health. Students taking
these courses find them rewarding in the opportunity
they present to engage with professionals from
industry, medicine, policy and research.
