Mission
The AHF Global Public Health Institute
At our Institute, we conduct practical research and advocacy to enhance health laws and policies worldwide. Our focus is on filling gaps in global health security and ensuring that public health policies are evidence-based.
In response to COVID-19, we published “A Global Public Health Convention for the 21st Century” in The Lancet Public Health, which led to the formation of the Panel for a Global Public Health Convention. This coalition of global leaders works to strengthen pandemic prevention efforts alongside partners like the University of Miami Public Health Policy Lab.
