Global Health

Cape Town is one of Africa’s wealthiest cities, yet it is also home to extreme poverty. Three students from the School of Public Health focus their research on this area, analyzing public health issues.

The Brown University School of Public Health’s global health profile is growing.

A Brown University School of Public Health biostatistician and an infectious disease specialist have received a $3.5-million grant to develop new ways to use data from patient health records to optimize effectiveness of HIV treatment where resources are limited, such as in the developing world. They will work with an HIV care program in Kenya that provides healthcare to more than 130,000 patients a year.
