The Global Health Network, Driving equity in health research
The Global Health Network is a global community connecting health researchers and organisations to overcome research barriers across diseases and locations. It provides access to knowledge, training and resources, empowering researchers, especially in low-resource areas, to conduct high-quality research. Our goal is to shift the research hierarchy, enabling all healthcare workers to engage in impactful, pragmatic studies. This approach addresses the need for comprehensive research ecosystems to improve healthcare outcomes.

- Head of The Global Health Network, @Oxford
The Global Health Network
My career has focused on combating diseases of poverty through the generation of high quality evidence. I have worked in Industry, academia and UN organisations. With my team and our partners we work to drive better health outcomes in vulnerable communities by enabling local leadership and ground-up implementation of high quality health research studies.
Within the University of Oxford, I devised and lead The Global Health Network which is a major international collaborative enterprise that sets out to improve health by improving research. We achieve this by finding better processes, building local capacity, supporting careers and enabling research in situations and diseases where live-saving data is woefully lacking.
