Global Health Institute

One of Duke University’s core values is the notion of putting knowledge in service to society. Nowhere is that value more evident than the Duke Global Health Institute.Our faculty are bringing a fresh perspective to an array of global problems. From training health workers to keep mothers and babies safe during childbirth to addressing the world’s rapidly growing aging population, DGHI faculty are addressing health challenges across the life span. We are also tackling often overlooked issues like global mental health.This 2012 Report highlights a few of the areas in which our faculty are engaging in innovative research. It also illustrates how a thriving Institute made up of creative and diverse individuals who learn from one another can produce important and innovative discoveries that involve and build the capacity of our international partners while improving the lives of people around the world.
