About the George
The George Institute for Global Health was established in 1999 with a mission to improve the health of millions of people worldwide, particularly underserved populations, by challenging the status quo and using innovative approaches to prevent and treat the world’s biggest killers: non-communicable diseases and injury.
With offices in Australia, China, India and the UK, our 700+ people support 245+ active projects and clinical trials across 50+ countries, with 400+ more staff across our social enterprises. We focus on the global health challenges that cause the greatest loss of life, the greatest impairment of life quality and the most substantial economic burden, particularly in resource-poor settings.
Together with our academic partners, UNSW Sydney in Australia, Manipal Academy of Higher Education in India and Imperial College London in the United Kingdom, we work with a global network of collaborators, undertaking clinical, population and health systems research.
What we do:
- Lead world-class, large-scale clinical trials, epidemiological studies and health systems research to transform treatments and healthcare delivery
- Look beyond single diseases, across the life course, to identify patient-centred approaches to care that can be implemented at scale
- Develop low-cost, innovative solutions to global unmet needs
- Drive our global impact through a program of research, advocacy, thought leadership and disruptive social entrepreneurship
We pride ourselves with our 6 core values: excellence, integrity, can-do approach, creativity, impact, and humanitarian commitment.
