The Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) in Spain, offers comprehensive expertise in global health challenges, focusing on the intersection of public health, policy, and environmental sustainability. The Barcelona Institute for Global Health, ISGlobal, is the fruit of an innovative alliance between the “la Caixa” Foundation, academic institutions and government bodies to contribute to the efforts undertaken by the international community to address the challenges in global health.

ISGlobal is a consolidated hub of excellence in research that has grown out of work first started in the world of health care by the Hospital Clínic and the Parc de Salut MAR and in the academic sphere by the University of Barcelona and Pompeu Fabra University. Its working model is based on the generation of scientific knowledge through Research Programmes and Groups, and its translation through the areas of Education and Training and Analysis and Global Development. Its ultimate goal is to help close the gaps in health disparities between and within different regions of the world.

ISGlobal’s aim is to improve Global Health through excellence in research focusing in two wide research areas: infectious diseases and non-communicable diseases & environment. ISGlobal will play a pivotal role in addressing health inequalities and fostering inclusive strategies to implement the One Health approach across diverse regions. Its experience in knowledge dissemination and stakeholder engagement ensures that the project’s findings reach relevant decision-makers and communities
