2019 marks 20 years since the founding of The George Institute for Global Health. During this time, our researchers have been profoundly impacting international treatment guidelines for a number of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and critical conditions, as well as devising new strategies and technologies for providing better primary care and contributing towards healthier societies. As you’ll read in this publication, we have many achievements to celebrate during the last two decades. We have grown to more than 700 people globally, with partnerships and projects in 45 countries. Since 1999, we have raised $1 billion for research and generated more than 8,000 publications and other academic outputs, building much needed evidence to effectively and sustainably transform care and health systems globally. However much work remains to be done. Each year, NCDs kill 41 million people and injuries claim 5 million lives, the vast majority of which are in low- and middle-income countries. Co

The physiological and social demands of pregnancy are immense. A period of transformation that tests a woman's body and resilience in profound ways. Yet, this time of vulnerability also offers an unparalleled opportunity to understand and improve women's health across the life course. Environmental change including rising temperatures, air and water pollution, and extreme weather events is now emerging as a major stressor during this critical life stage, shaping both immediate pregnancy outcomes and long-term health trajectories for mothers and their children. Women and girls are disproportionately affected by environmental hazards. Biological factors such as hormonal and thermoregulatory changes interact with entrenched social and economic inequities --- limited access to healthcare, insecure housing, unpaid care responsibilities, and occupational exposures --- to heighten risk. For pregnant women in particular, exposure to extreme heat has been linked to complications such as preterm birth, l

SHE CAN is a community-led evidence to action network driving forward transformative change to protect the health of women and girls across the Asia Pacific from a changing climate, for the benefit of all.   It brings together women, governments, activists, civil society organisations, and health system actors from across the Asia Pacific region to strengthen systems for the collection and use of sex-disaggregated climate-health risk and impact data towards more evidence-based and equitable policy interventions that target investment where it is needed most.  At a critical moment for climate adaptation and mitigation across the region, SHE CAN ensures that the voices, experiences, and priorities of women and girls are not only heard but embedded into the decisions that shape their future.  Help protect the health of women and girls on the frontlines of climate change.  Your support will amplify women's leadership in designing cli
