Department overview

Despite improvements in life expectancy in recent decades, long-term chronic conditions continue to cause avoidable suffering for millions of people worldwide. Oxford Population Health addresses these challenges through pioneering research aimed at reducing disability and premature death on a global scale.

We are a global leader in population health science. We lead human health forward by identifying the most important questions, developing innovative ways to answer them, and ensuring that the answers improve lives. By working collaboratively across disciplines and with diverse partners, our research improves health for generations to come—building a healthier and more equitable future for all.

Under the leadership of Professor Prabhat Jha, Oxford Population Health continues to train the next generation of scientists and shape the future of global health.
