The Global Health Network is a platform to enable research by sharing knowledge and methods. Here you can find member areas, each a specific research community of practice, who use this space to work, disseminate and engage. There is also a vast array of resources to guide, train and support researchers in the design, planning and operation of their studies and in developing their research capacity.
