Umeå_Centre_for_Global_Health_Research
The Umeå Centre for Global Health Research (UCGHR) was a centre of excellence within Umeå University in northern Sweden. The centre operated within the university's Department of Epidemiology and Global Health, and was led by a steering group chaired by a principal investigator.
UCGHR sought to engage with a global agenda on health research and practice, addressing critical issues in global health and facilitating collaboration between and within the North and South. The centre's long-term research programme has been developed against a background of international epidemiological research, as well as public health work within Sweden.
The centre was responsible for publishing the open-access academic journal Global Health Action.
