According to the World Health Organization, global health diplomacy is an emerging field that bridges the disciplines of public health, international affairs, management, law, and economics, with a focus on negotiations that impact the global policy environment for health.
The Institute is actively engaged in a transformation process aimed at promoting health through health diplomacy. As part of this process, the Institute recognizes the need to understand the many non-medical factors affecting health for the success of health policies. Applying a multidisciplinary approach requires the adoption of methods, practical tools and techniques drawn from environmental, agricultural and social sciences, among others. This scientific evidence can contribute to and complement other public health efforts that focus on the non-medical factors that influence health outcomes. At the Institute we also believe, that global health requires more inclusive multilateral negotiations and needs to involve a wide range of civil society actors.
