Enabling Research by Sharing Knowledge
The Global Health Network connects researchers and research organisations; transferring know-how between disease areas and across regions and networks.
MISSION
- To embed health research in places where evidence is lacking
- To drive equity in who takes part and who benefits from health research
- To build lasting capable research teams in low-resource settings

How it started
Setup by Trudie in 2002, The Global health Network....
What we do?
These aims are achieved through a combination of an online knowledge-sharing platform and the development of strategic partnerships, both online and in person, largely facilitated by The Global Health Network (theglobalhealthnetwork.org). This digital platform brings together two highly connected elements: knowledge hubs, which function as an open online science park where consortia, organisations, networks and programmes can collaborate through dedicated workspaces to access documents, connect with peers and operate efficiently; and a wide range of teaching, training and career development resources for research teams, healthcare workers and laboratory staff. The hubs enhance engagement, visibility and access to outputs by making them discoverable across the research community, while their interconnected, cross-disciplinary nature enables researchers to share best practices, reduce duplication and accelerate progress. Alongside this, the platform offers online courses, toolkits and learning materials designed to support safe, ethical and robust research in under-resourced settings by building skills, competencies and sustainable research careers.
