Over the last fifteen years, the George Institute for Global Health has delivered high-impact evidence from a large program of research and innovation that has influenced health policy and healthcare practice worldwide. From modest beginnings, the founders have built a team of more than 450 staff across centres in Australia, India, China and the United Kingdom. The Institute's projects now span more than 50 countries, we have raised almost $500 million for global health research since 1999 and we have been ranked among the top 10 research institutions in the world for scientific impact.
