The Centre on Global Health Security at Chatham House, headed by Professor David L Heymann CBE, examines key global health challenges and how they manifest themselves as foreign policy and international affairs problems. It seeks to help leaders around the world - in government, private foundations, international organizations and business - reach well-informed decisions that improve global health security. It does so by conducting independent research and analysis and facilitating dialogue between the international affairs and public health communities.

The Centre's work is focused on three often interlinked aspects of global health security:

• Disease threats and determinants that transcend borders;
• Access to health-related products, technologies and services;
• International affairs, governance and health.
