About the organiser
The Collective for the Political Determinants of Health advances research examining how transnational issues outside the health sector impact health everywhere, such as trade, fiscal policy and technology. Collective members are particularly concerned with how power constellations, institutions, interests, and ideological positions affect health within different political systems and cultures and at different levels of governance.
The Collective grew out of the Lancet-University of Oslo Commission on Global Governance for Health and its 2014 landmark report that drew attention to the political determinants of health. The Collective is hosted by the University of Oslo’s Centre for Development and the Environment (SUM).
