Global Public Health

The Global Public Health (GPH) practice brings the firm’s deep expertise across the entire health care value chain together with our traditional functional expertise to help clients improve the health of populations, and reduce unnecessary death and debilitating disease around the world.

Our current work focuses on four themes:

  • accelerating the introductions and uptake of new products and technologies;
  • engaging the private sector in health care concerns;
  • improving health systems in developing countries; and
  • enhancing collaborations and partnerships across global health efforts.

We pursue these interests through work with clients, knowledge development initiatives, and convening efforts.
