About the Group
Global Health is a cross-cutting theme at the Institute for Health Research and represents all LJMU research active staff collaborating with overseas partners conducting global health research and evaluation. It focuses on health in the broadest sense, and with a specific focus on right to health, environmental health, health vulnerabilities, and tackling health inequalities and health disparities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It includes a focus on migrating and displaced communities from the Global South, and on decolonising measures and infrastructures associated with research originating in Westernised Educated Industrialised Rich Developed countries.
General objectives are:
- To forge global collaborations between organisations in Liverpool and partners abroad,
- To support impactful research that makes a difference to local, national and international stakeholders.
- To generate robust evidence with reliable, replicable, well-reported methods
- To develop community level co-production to inform capacity building, policy, and practice,
- To strengthen advocacy efforts to leverage system and legislative reforms.
