Health is the foundation of a more just society.
The Health Equity Action Lab© was established in 2017.
Our mission is to conduct community-engaged, policy-relevant research to improve health equity worlwide.
Our guiding values:
Equity. At its core, global health is about equity — valuing the lives of all people, everywhere. We recognize the inequalities that exist within and between our societies and aim to use our research to inform actions that remove the obstacles to equality.
Reflexivity. We promote reflexivity in our global health practice, encouraging open conversations and challenging ourselves to learn and grow. We aim to center the experiences of affected communities and knowledge of experts from endemic regions.
Sustainability. We strive for sustainability in all we do. We aim to develop lasting relationships with the collaborators and communities with whom we work and to minimize the environmental footprint of our research portfolio.
