Mission Statement

• We are a unique global network of clinical
  epidemiologists, biostatisticians, social
  scientists and other health professionals
  affiliated with key academic health-care
  institutions.

We are dedicated to improving the health of
disadvantaged populations, particularly in low-
and middle-income countries, by promoting
equitable health care based on the best
evidence of effectiveness and the efficient use
of resources.
We achieve this by using the network to conduct
collaborative inter-disciplinary research on
high-priority health problems, and to train
future generations of leaders in health-care
research.
