The NHS Consortium for Global Health

The NHS Consortium for Global Health provides a point of access to a range of UK health organisations including NHS bodies, who between them make up the technical expertise in the core health system building blocks*.

The UK Government’s Global Better Health Programme (BHP) aims to address the growing burden of Non Communicable Diseases (NCD) such as heart disease and diabetes. It also aims to strengthen local health system structures by creating systems to improve quality of care.

The NHS Consortium has been created as part of the BHP and NHS Consortium advisors provide technical expertise in health system to system, peer to peer dialogue with BHP partner country governments, sharing good practice and lessons learned from implementing universal health coverage in the UK for over 70 years.

The Consortium provides the eight partner countries with the following services and offers:

  • Convening participation from across the UK health sector
  • Technical research and scoping
  • Catalyst for strategic partnerships
  • Building evidence, supporting cross country learning, and scaling up results

*Funded by the FCDO with processes in place to ensure that NHS resources are not distracted from their domestic healthcare responsibilities.
