THE GLOBAL HEALTH NETWORK NEPAL

The Global Health Network (TGHN), situated at Oxford University, is a knowledge- sharing community and a World Health Organization (WHO) collaborating center. It is widely utilized by the global health research community, striving to enhance research capabilities and leadership in regions and environments where health evidence is lacking.

With regional centers in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, the TGHN Nepal Centre aims to serve as a platform that nurtures and facilitates collaboration among research institutions, academia, and individuals involved in health research. Through the hosting of the Nepal Centre, the Nepal Public Health Foundation (NPHF) demonstrates its unwavering dedication to advancing the field of global health and research within the country. The center’s primary objective is to promote and strengthen health research collaboration by fostering opportunities for knowledge exchange, capacity building, and joint research initiatives.

Project activities:

GARP’s current focus is generating cross-disciplinary evidence describing the impact of vaccines on AMR in country-specific contexts.

• Initiate a conversation with experts in the AMR and Immunization fields to obtain national perspectives.
• Create a working group to facilitate activities related to this evidence-generating and policy engagement project.
• Generate country-level estimates on the impact of vaccines in reducing infectious disease burden and AMR.
• Develop national-level publications bringing forth evidence on the value of vaccines to mitigate AMR and the benefit of including its reduction of AMR burden when making the economic case for vaccine introduction.
• Convene experts and policymakers from the AMR and Immunization sector to present national-level evidence on the value of vaccines as a mitigation tool for AMR.
