Our mission is to improve health and health equity in crises-affected countries working in partnership to achieve excellence in public health research, education and translation of knowledge into policy and practice.
Summary of relevant work:
- A series of systematic reviews published (including one Lancet paper due at the end of 2016) on the effectiveness of health interventions in humanitarian crises commissioned by DFID and the Wellcome Trust which drew on staff expertise from all faculties as well as external collaborators.
