Institute for Global Public Health
The Institute for Global Public Health (IGPH) was established in February 2020. It was based on the foundation built by the Centre for Global Public Health which was created in 2008 to enhance the University of Manitoba’s leadership in global public health. IGPH is rooted in the Department of Community Health Sciences in the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences but has a university-wide mandate.

How we work

Defined as “the systematic application of theoretical and empirical scientific knowledge to improve the design, implementation and evaluation of public health programs,” program science forms the core of our work.
Our academic commitment, through this framework, ensures that we are continuously learning to adapt the framework to different public health areas in different settings, addressing critical knowledge gaps and contributing to knowledge generation.
WHO Collaborating Centre
About the Centre
The Institute for Global Public Health was designated as a WHO Collaborating Centre in 2021 to support WHO’s work on universal access to primary health care services. This involves improving knowledge about equitable access and utilization of services in response to community health needs, as well as developing methods and tools to assess and monitor the performance of the health system.
