Centre for Global Child Health
The Centre for Global Child Health is the dedicated hub for global child health-focused activities at SickKids. We support a number of initiatives that work towards one goal – better newborn, child, and adolescent health. Collaborative research, sustainable capacity building, evidenced-based policy development, and improved health advocacy for children and families are a few ways we’re impacting health.
We're proud to endorse the United Nations’ Every Woman, Every Child Global Strategy, and to be a part of Canada’s contribution to improving women’s and children’s health around the world. We’re consistently making a positive impact on a global level, positioning SickKids as one of the world’s top paediatric health-care institutions and Canada’s leading centre dedicated to advancing children’s health.

Addressing global challenges in child health
The C-GCH connects researchers and health-care professionals around the world to improve the lives of children and their families in resource-poor environments. We’re advancing child health from several approaches – collaboration in ground-breaking research, sustainable capacity building through education, actively communicating results through advocacy, and promoting improved child health through worldwide networks.
