The Centre for International Public
Health Policy (CIPHP) has been established
at the University of Edinburgh to carry
out research of the highest standard in
health policy, disseminate its research,
and provide exceptional postgraduate teaching, playing a leading role in the University's internationalisation strategy.
Focusing on the principles of equity, access,
and universality in the context of global health, Prof Allyson Pollock and
colleagues have created an academy that has gained an international
reputation for the quality and social relevance
of their research.
Our work covers five main areas:
- globalisation and health
- public private partnerships and marketisation
- comparative health systems
- the role of pharmaceuticals in health
services and clinical research
- transnational corporations and international health policy
- regulation, intellectual property, and
freedom of information
CIPHP staff have a history of conducting
outstanding research, and play a leading
role in debates around the impact of current
policies on public health and social inequalities.
They contribute to the world's leading peer-reviewed
journals, and to professional journals,
newspapers and magazines, and radio and
television programmes.
CIPHP's research agenda is interdisciplinary
and international. Its staff offer high-level
expertise and experience in public health,
public policy, medicine, political science,
economics, anthropology, and health services research.
CIPHP's research activities directly inform
its innovative postgraduate teaching. From
September 2010 it will run five taught MSc
programmes:
