Rady Faculty of Health Sciences
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.
Institute for Global Public Health
How we work
Program science, defined as “the systematic application of theoretical and empirical scientific knowledge to improve the design, implementation, and evaluation of public health programs,” is central to our work.
Our academic commitment to this framework means we are constantly learning and adapting it to various public health areas and settings. This approach helps us address critical knowledge gaps and contribute to the advancement of public health knowledge.
