UC Global Health Institute

The University of California Global Health Institute (UCGHI) addresses long-standing and emerging challenges to global health through its education, research and partnership initiatives.

The Institute’s three multi-campus, transdisciplinary Centers of Expertise comprise dozens of faculty across the 10-campus UC system and are harnessing their expertise to address the increasingly complex global health problems and needs of the world’s most vulnerable populations.

Centers of Expertise

• Migration and Health
• One Health: Water,
  Animals, Food and Society
• Women’s Health and Empowerment

I am proud that California is such a leader in the emerging academic discipline of global health. The formation of the University of California multi-campus Global Health Institute and the efforts undertaken by other universities, nonprofit organizations and the business sector directly impact the health of California and the world.
