Board on Global Health

The health of the world knows no boundaries, and health events in one area impact far beyond local populations. In light of this, the Board on Global Health (BGH), within the Health and Medicine Division, carries out activities and studies aimed at advancing the health of people worldwide.

The mission of the Board is to advance equitable and sustainable global health through support of interdisciplinary research, policy guidance, communication, and collaboration.
