Associate Professor Jagnoor Jagnoor

Profile

Jagnoor Jagnoor is a global leader in injury prevention and trauma care, serving as Program Lead of the Injury at The George Institute for Global Health. She is Co-Director of the WHO Collaborating Centre on Injury Prevention and Trauma Care.

With a background in injury epidemiology and global health, Jagnoor's research explores the impacts of injury, the social and economic determinants of injury burden, and the effectiveness of interventions to reduce harm and support recovery among populations experiencing vulnerability. She brings deep expertise across injury surveillance, road safety, drowning, falls, burns, whiplash, and mild traumatic brain injury, underpinned by a strong commitment to equity, system strengthening, and data-driven decision-making.

She has made significant contributions to policy reform, including informing compulsory third-party insurance models in Australia and contributing to national injury prevention strategies in Asia and Africa. Her research and advocacy have shaped global drowning prevention efforts and health systems responses to injury in resource-constrained settings.
In 2024, Jagnoor convened the Safety 2024 Conference, co-sponsored by the World Health Organization, bringing together global experts to accelerate action on injury prevention and safety promotion.

In addition to her research leadership, Jagnoor serves on multiple advisory and governance boards, where she contributes her expertise to advance public health, evidence-informed policy, and research equity.

Turning the tide on the drowning epidemic requires urgent action. But the right action requires accurate data – our comprehensive survey across vulnerable communities in coastal wetland regions of India has revealed that the burden is three times higher than previous estimates, and its hitting the young hardest. “If we trained 17 years ago, then I could have saved my own child.By: MangalaMother who lost her child through drowning Read Mangala's story The drowning trap: children and vulnerable communities Drowning is sometimes referred to as a silent epidemic - unseen, unheard and unaccounte
