Global Health Program

The Council on Foreign Relations’ Global Health program provides independent, evidence-based analysis and recommendations to meet the health challenges of a globalized world. The program and affiliated fellows disseminate its findings to policy makers, opinion leaders, and the general public through briefings, meetings, books, op-eds, articles, interactives, and the award-winning Think Global Health online bulletin.
