About Pacific Global Health

Pacific Global Health endeavours to build a comprehensive health system improvement knowledge base and serve as a global think tank for innovative, sustainable solutions in healthcare.

Our Mission

Our mission is to bridge the gap between knowledge and practice, creating practical pathways that strengthen health systems and improve outcomes for communities across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.

We believe that healthcare challenges are complex and multi-dimensional, requiring a holistic and collaborative approach. That is why Pacific Global Health operates across multiple dimensions of the healthcare system to deliver meaningful improvement.
