"Global health is one of the areas in which a new approach to diplomacy in the 21st century is most manifest. As new trans-border health challenges need to be resolved jointly between countries health increasingly moves beyond its purely technical realm to become a critical element of foreign policy, security policy and trade agreements."
Ilona Kickbusch 2009

The Global Health Programme has responded to these new approaches and realities by investing in research and training on global health diplomacy and governance. It engages in three main activities:

• Research Projects
  
• Training and Capacity Building in Geneva and Worldwide
• Publications
