Ryan Family Center for Global Primary Care

 

Ensuring quality primary care delivery is critical to the global efforts to reduce preventable suffering, but major gaps exist in knowing how to organize, support and deliver care to reach everyone everywhere. The Ryan Family Center for Global Primary Care is uniquely designed to better understand and address these knowledge gaps through research, education, training and collaboration with our partners globally and here in Chicago. ”

Lisa R Hirschhorn, MD, MPH, Director, Ryan Family Center for Global Primary Care

Quality primary care provides the critical infrastructure needed to anchor all effective health systems. Improving global health on a large scale simply has to start here.”

Robert Havey, MD, Deputy Director, Havey Institute for Global Health

Our mission is to improve Global Primary Health Care quality, access, and impact through partnerships and innovations in research, education and service. As defined by the World Health Organization, primary health care is people-focused, rather than disease-focused, care that includes health promotion, disease prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care.


We aim to utilize an approach that builds on new and existing partnerships that help to identify opportunities for research, training and capacity-building within these institutions. Through our foundation built on collaboration, our vision is to strengthen global primary care approaches and help to bring expertise to the field through building procedures and focus based on landscape review.
