Health Diplomacy Institutional Network

About the network

We're building a vibrant and diverse community of practice, linking over 100 Fellows with dozens of organizations and more than 30 academic institutions committed to improving health through diplomacy. 

Here's how we connect Health Diplomacy Institutional Network members:

• Convene institutions who are running health diplomacy courses in their regions to share best practice. 
• Host an annual workshop on health diplomacy to share lessons from capacity building initiatives and insights from new research. 
• Run an online platform to strengthen ongoing collaboration and resource sharing across the network. 

Five strategic pillars

1. Academic Collaboration: share academic resources, research findings, and teaching methodologies among member institutions to develop joint courses, workshops, and seminars in global health diplomacy. 
2. Research and Innovation: Stimulate collaborative research projects that contribute to advancing health diplomacy. This includes supporting interdisciplinary studies that combine insights from public health and international relations and policy analysis. 
3. Professional Development: Expand faculty and student exchanges, through internships and mentorship programs to cultivate the next generation of health diplomats. 
4. Policy Influence and Advocacy: Leverage the collective expertise to inform health policy dialogues and shape national, regional and global agendas.  
5. Global Outreach and Engagement: Build strategic partnerships with governmental and non-governmental organizations, health agencies, and other relevant stakeholders to extend reach and impact.
