Global Health Bioethics

The aim of this initiative is to provide resources to enable people conducting global health bioethics research in both developing and developed countries to communicate about issues in global health research ethics, share models of good research practice, collaborate on developing research ideas or applying for research grants, get constructive feedback on bioethics-related PhD proposals, and have ready access to a wide range of resources on research ethics. It is our hope that these resources will encourage local research initiatives, improve ethical standards in collaborative global health research, and contribute to the development and sharing of research ethics capacity.

Global Health Library (led by WHO)

The objective of the Global Health Library (GHL) is to contribute to radically increase access to information and scientific evidence on health, particularly in developing regions. GHL is promoted and led by WHO as part of its strategy of knowledge management in global public health.

The GHL aims to 'strengthen, promote and develop worldwide networks on the collection, organization, dissemination and universal access to reliable health sciences information'.

 

Based on existing initiatives, virtual libraries, networks, systems, products and services and to increase their interoperability, visibility and accessibility, the main objective of the GHL proposal is to maximize cooperative activities in networks and minimize duplications. The GHL is designed to create the global space that will promote and progressively connect local, national, regional and international flows of information on health.

The Kaiser Family Foundation

A leader in health policy analysis, health journalism and communication, the Kaiser Family Foundation is dedicated to filling the need for trusted information on the health issues facing the nation and its people.

Kaiser is a non-profit organization focusing on the major health care issues facing the U.S., as well as the U.S. role in global health policy.  Unlike grant-making foundations, Kaiser develops and runs its own research, journalism and communications programs, sometimes in partnership with other non-profit research organizations or major media companies. We serve as a non-partisan source of facts, information, analysis and journalism for policymakers, the media, the health care community, and the public. Our product is information, always provided free of charge — from the most sophisticated policy research, to basic facts and numbers, to in depth health policy news coverage provided by our news service, KHN, to information young people can use to improve their health or elderly people can use to understand their Medicare benefits.

The Lancet

The Lancet Global Health Portal 

The Lancet has a commitment to improving global health, and this area gathers all our global health content in one location. Most of our global health content is free to all users, so if you have an interest in this area, spend some time browsing our content. World Reports and Perspectives articles are ideal for anyone who wants a personal view on a subject, and The Lancet Global Health Series, and Regional Reports and Commissions provide in-depth views for anyone seeking disease-specific or regional information.

The Lancet Global Health is the first online-only, open access journal in The Lancet’s now well established stable of monthly specialty journals. The Lancet Global Health publishes high-quality original research, commentary, correspondence, and blogs on the following subjects as they pertain to low- and middle-income countries: reproductive, maternal, neonatal, and child health; adolescent health; infectious diseases, including neglected tropical diseases; non-communicable diseases; the global health workforce; health systems; and health policy. All original research is subjected to The Lancet’s usual rigorous standards of external clinical and statistical peer review, and is edited by experienced copy editors to the highest standards.
