Global Health
Welcome to Stellenbosch University

​Department of Global Health

The Department of Global Health consists of several divisions, centres and institutes all of which work with the objective of advancing health equity in South Africa and for the rest of Africa. 

​Global Health is a field of scholarship and practice seeking to advance health equity by employing a transdisciplinary, inter-sectoral and collaborative approach to address complex health and social problems that cross national borders, and are impacted by transnational forces. 

Academics in Global Health lecture to both undergraduate and postgraduate students. The Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences offers several postgraduate programmes in Global Health.  ​
