In 2005, we established the HLSP Institute. The Institute aims to inform debate and policy on global health issues and national health systems in order to reduce inequalities in health.

Through the HLSP Institute we produce cutting edge publications and knowledge products, and provide training and learning to clients both in the UK and worldwide.
