Society and Civic Engagement

We strive for social justice in health and engage with people in the process.

Swiss TPH promotes social justice and equity in health by providing leadership and excellence in research, project design and implementation. Through formative and applied research, implementation and evaluation, we engage stakeholders, including citizens, in co-creation processes, while adopting a gender, age, diversity and human rights perspective. Our research is conducted at the nexus of social, cultural, political and structural determinants of health across the life course in diverse societies. We work on public health policies and programmes from the local to the global level, with a particular focus on sexual and reproductive health, disease control and elimination, and sustainable health systems. We develop tailored evidence-based policies and programmes for sustainability in different social-ecological systems.
