GHI: The Wisconsin Idea in Global Action
Mission & Value Statements
At the UW-Madison Global Health Institute, we are conveners proactively unifying talent and expertise through a multidisciplinary lens from academia, government, NGOs, health officials, and industry, to tackle global health response and security issues through our collaborative and innovative network.
Our mission is to embrace a global health ethic that fosters deeper understanding of the complex determinants of health and disease for people, animals, and ecosystems through a One Health model. By working locally and globally, we uniquely apply research and education both within and across disciplines, advancing health today and ensuring well-being for the future.
