Global Health Section
The Global Health Section has a strong focus on education and outreach, and is active in many capacity building projects with partners in low-income countries.
The research at the Department of Public Health's Global Health Section takes an interdisciplinary approach to global health, and covers a wide range of topics such as diabetes and double burden of disease, environmental health, disaster and emergency health, infectious and neglected tropical diseases, sexual and reproductive health, and health care delivery in low-income societies.
The research and expertise of the Department of Public Health's Global Health Section includes everything from global health issues to problems arising from the most widespread and serious diseases, regional and local differences in health conditions and international health programmes and their effects.
Among the most important themes are health systems and society, health in poor societies, disaster management and prevention and environmental health. Intervention studies, longitudinal studies, and international comparative studies are performed in collaboration with health care researchers, cultural researchers and social scientists.
