The Centre for Global Health is an academic hub for global health at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health. The Centre catalyzes collaborative, interdisciplinary and equity-informed global health research, offers global health education and training across the education continuum, and works closely with strategic partners to build a global health network across the DLSPH.

Located in one of the most diverse cities in the world, we are leveraging our location and Canadian values of equity, universal healthcare and social protection to make an impact on the Sustainable Development Goals  (SDGs). Universal health coverage (SDG3) is one of the major topics we are tackling along with other emerging and pressing global health issues.

The final module of the Centre’s Executive Course on Global Health Diplomacy took place June 3 – 5 at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health. We were delighted to welcome our course learners to Toronto for this three-day event featuring virtual panels and briefings with global health experts, learner presentations on pressing global health case studies, and diplomatic skill-building activities.

Congratulations to our 2025 cohort on completing the course, now going into its sixth year!
