The Global and Sexual Health research group is dedicated to furthering knowledge of global health development and sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Our research focuses on HIV, preventative behaviours, emerging infections, non-communicable diseases, migrant health, health economics, eHealth, and is also home to Hans Rosling’s Gapminder project. The group consists of interdisciplinary researchers with experience in study design and project implementation in weak health systems.
