The George Centre for Healthcare Innovation is a joint venture between The George Institute for Global Health and the Oxford Martin School and the Nuffield Department of Medicine at the University of Oxford. With a team based in Oxford, our research program efforts include ongoing developments in the areas of:
- Essential Healthcare
- Affordable Healthcare Technologies
- Global Health Politics
The George Centre for Healthcare Innovation is The George Institute’s flagship centre in the UK. Research at The George Centre focuses on those health conditions that cause the greatest burden in disadvantaged populations in the UK and in low and middle-income countries. The Centre’s major emphasis is on developing innovative, yet pragmatic, evidence-based strategies and technologies that can be implemented widely, quickly and at a reasonable cost.

“Healthcare reform is currently on the agenda of most governments around the world as they struggle to meet increasing demands for quality health care while operating within limited or decreasing budgets. In high-income countries, such as the UK or the USA, the growing burden of chronic diseases, ageing populations and increased expectations for better and often more expensive treatments, are competing with other non-health priorities for limited government resources. In low-income countries, fragile health systems that have previously struggled to cope with the diseases of poverty, such as infectious disease, poor maternal and child health, as well as nutritional disorders, are now also having to manage the rising tide of chronic conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer, as well as increases in trauma.”
“Healthcare innovation involves developing new cost-effective strategies and technologies to help policy-makers manage the demands for improved health care, with limited financial resources. I see a huge potential for The George Centre for Healthcare Innovation at the University of Oxford to become a leading authority on how governments can most effectively respond to these challenges.”
