  1. Justice and priority setting in health, including questions about how to allocate scarce resources for health and health care efficiently and fairly.
  2. The articulation between large scale (global/national) health initiatives and local health systems.

Global Health Research Group: Ethics, Economy and Culture


An interdisciplinary group

The group is interdisciplinary with professional competence in medicine, medical anthropology, economics, ethics and philosophy, political science, public health, sociology, epidemiology, statistics and history. Drawing upon the knowledge from a variety of perspectives is a precondition for the group’s research activities.

The research group is led by Karen Marie Moland and has some joint meetings every year. In addition, there are two subgroups that will have separate meetings on a monthly basis from the autumn 2012:
1. The priority setting subgroup, led by Ole Frithjof Norheim.

2. The reproductive health subgroup, led by Karen Marie Moland and Ingvild Sandøy/Knut Fylkesnes.
