Past research projects

Global Health captures a field of work concerned with understanding, and very often improving, health concerns around the world.

Applying a social science lens to global health research

Over half of LSE's departments and institutes are involved in research relating to global health, covering a dynamic range of disciplines, topics and regions. The Global Health Initiative provides a hub to bring together these diverse activities on one platform and to enable greater collaboration across departments. It also provides a single point of entry for those outside of LSE to view our global health work and engage with our experts.

On this page you can browse some of the global health research projects at LSE over the years, and filter projects by region.
