Global engagement
Our Centre was established to promote evidence-based policy-making around the world. It’s our aim to help influence healthcare policy globally. Our partnerships – both local and international – ensure that our reach and impact go beyond borders, helping transform policy for the benefit of people and the systems that serve their health and wellbeing.
Our work
We’re dedicated to using evidence and education to change global health policy for the better. We do this by uniting world-leading experts and policy-makers to tackle real-world health problems; building international collaborations; promoting learning and support; and generating and spreading evidence-based knowledge on a range of important health issues.

Our work
WISH
We’re a partner of the World Innovation Summit for Health (WISH), a global community that’s dedicated to capturing and disseminating the best evidence-based ideas and practices in global healthcare.
Since its inception in 2013, WISH has held five summits. These events unite thousands of global health leaders and experts across the globe, , who together share knowledge, evidence and best practice to transform healthcare and guide policy.
WISH focuses on some of the most pressing and serious global health challenges facing governments, health systems and populations alike. From mental health to climate change, we work together to rise to the evolving healthcare issues of today, exposing challenges and proposing evidence-based solutions to solve them. To date, WISH has published over 40 reports that set out key recommendations to make positive change in these areas of need.

Leading Health Systems Network
We offer evidence-based tools to help make healthcare safer, like our hospital checklist for antimicrobial stewardship and our ‘Essentials of Cybersecurity for Healthcare Organisations (ECHO)’ framework.
The ECHO framework and its 51 components were developed by the Institute of Global Health Innovation (IGHI) through a consensus building exercise with experts in the fields of ICT and health informatics.
The resource provided here has used the ECHO framework as a basis to develop high level guidance for healthcare organisations to guide cybersecurity scale-up.
