Who We Are
The Barcelona Institute for Global Health, ISGlobal, is the fruit of an innovative alliance between "la Caixa", academic institutions and government bodies to contribute to the efforts undertaken by the international community to address the challenges in global health.
ISGlobal is a consolidated hub of excellence in research that has grown out of work first started in the world of health care by the Hospital Clínic and the Parc de Salut MAR and in the academic sphere by the University of Barcelona and Pompeu Fabra University. The pivotal mechanism of its work model is the transfer of knowledge generated by scientific research to practice, a task undertaken by the institute’s Education and Policy and Global Development departments.
Its ultimate goal is to help close the gaps in health disparities between and within different regions of the world.
Our vision is to be a world class research and translation centre in Global Health working towards a world in which all people can enjoy health
ISGlobal's mission is to improve global health and promote health equity through excellence in research and the translation and application of knowledge
