Global Health Group (GHG)
The Global Health Group (GHG) is responsible for ensuring that the MRC develops an effective strategy for addressing research needs across the spectrum of global health issues. This includes developing policy for research relevant to countries outside the G8 and European Union, taking into account the Department for International Development's aim for research relevant to the health of the poorest people and addressing opportunities in both communicable and non-communicable diseases. The group will take account of other international developments in global health and undertake foresight analysis to help anticipate future opportunities.
The Chair of the GHG is Professor Sir Andrew Haines, Professor of Public Health and Primary Care at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
