CIHR and Global Health Research (GHR)
Canada's health status is increasingly affected, like that of many countries, by ecological, technological, economic, political and socio-cultural forces acting at a global level. Understanding these "upstream" forces, and their health impacts, in this country and others (especially poorer nations) - is essential to ensuring the future health of Canadians. Part of
CIHR's mandate is to promote research that addresses the global health problems.
