Global health research consorita or networks

 

COMDIS - HSD

COMDIS-HSD is a research consortium co-ordinated through The Nuffield Centre for International Health and Development at the University of Leeds. 

The aim of the COMDIS-HSD research programme consortium (RPC) is to provide evidence to improve health service delivery, and ensure policy and practice change in partner countries and beyond.

Funded by the Department for International development, COMDIS-HSD has £7.5 million for 6 years and is shared among our partners in Bangladesh, China, Nepal, Pakistan, Tanzania, Ghana, Uganda, Swaziland and the UK.

It has seven research themes aiming to improve demand for, access to, and quality of prevention and care for common diseases, especially in underserved populations (slums, marginal rural areas, migrants and fragile states). We do this by developing, testing and refining packages of essential curative and preventive services, linking facility- and community-based interventions.

Its 12 partners are ;

  • Malaria Consortium London, UK and Kampala, Africa
  • Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC), Dhaka, Bangladesh
  • NTP Bangladesh
  • Association for Social Development (ASD), Islamabad, Pakistan
  • Beijing National and Guangxi Provincial Centres for Disease Control, China
  • Shandong Chest Hospital, China
  • Guangxi Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, China
  • Shanghai Changing District Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, China
  • Department of Clinical Medicine, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda
  • School of Medical Sciences, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, Ghana
  • The Health Research and Social Development Forum (HERD), Nepal
  • The Good Shepherd Hospital Lubombo regional health, Swaziland

There are also additional collaborations in partner countries with the National Tuberculosis and Malaria Control Programmes and in Uganda with the HIV / AIDS and Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) programmes.

London International Development Centre

London International Development Centre : The London International Development Centre (LIDC) facilitates interdisciplinary research and training to tackle complex problems in international development.

It brings together social and natural scientists from across the University of London's Bloomsbury Colleges: Birkbeck, Institute of Education, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Royal Veterinary College, and the School of Oriental and African Studies.

  

ReBUILD Consortium 

 

The ReBUILD Consortium was an international health systems research partnership which between 2011 and early 2019 addressed the previously neglected area of health systems research in fragile and conflict-affected settings (FCAS). Through new research and the support of evidence-based policy and practice, ReBUILD's partners aimed to help some of the world's poorest and most vulnerable people access effective health care and reduce health costs burdens, in these highly challenging conflict and crisis-affected settings.

 

Working with research collaborators, policy makers, international & local organisations and networks, the consortium members have produced an extensive body of high quality, policy-relevant research, and supported its use in policy and practice (a summary of that work can be found here).
