We see health as a participatory, intersectoral, and transdisciplinary process, which is continuously created via interactions between people and their social and natural environment at the local, regional, national, and global level.
Our mission is to
advance knowledge of health and disease among populations within their social and natural environments through evidence-based, participatory, and interdisciplinary academic research;
educate graduate and postgraduate students to become knowledgeable, responsible professionals in academic, clinical, and public health positions;
create and promote health by disseminating knowledge, informing policy, and providing services from local to global levels.
