About the Center

Health inequalities in low- and middle-income countries are driven by a variety of complex factors, including economics, climate change, politics, and social disparities. The University of Michigan is home to some of the world's leading experts in these and other areas, many of whom are already engaged in global health efforts within their respective field.

A transformational gift from Tachi and Leslie Yamada to the University of Michigan is providing opportunities to bring these experts together in new ways to develop sustainable, multidisciplinary partnerships that can improve lives around the world.
