Abstract
Over more than 25 years, the Kirby Institute has been involved in multiple research collaborations involving low- and middle-income countries, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. We have worked with government, academic and community partners on a wide range of topics, across a broad range of research disciplines. In this seminar, we will provide an overview of some of the Kirby Institute’s global health research, and in the context of a rapidly changing research and international environment, we will discuss how we can best contribute to improved health knowledge and outcomes in areas of need.
Professor Kaldor will be joined by Professors Andrew Vallely (Kirby Institute), Willie Pomat (Papua New Guinea Institute of Medical Research), Virginia Wiseman (Kirby Institute and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine) and Gail Matthews (Kirby Institute and St Vincent’s Hospital, Sydney) in the Q&A.
