20 years of impact
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
