CGSC and CGD contribute to UK Foreign Affairs Committee Report ‘Global Health, Global Britain’.

The Centre for Global Security Challenges and Centre for Global Development have contributed to a report just launched by the UK Foreign Affairs Committee on ‘Global Health, Global Britain’.

The report addresses key issues connected to COVID-19 and health security such as vaccine inequality and misinformation, cuts to health aid programmes, and the need for reform of the World Health Organisation (WHO).

POLIS researchers from across the two research centres submitted evidence based on their expertise on global health, health security, health governance and diplomacy, health systems and financing, and international health collaboration and trust. The report cited CGSC and CGD research on the importance of strengthening health systems and building capacity and infrastructure in order to cope with the next pandemic.
