Research
Why research matters in humanitarian settingsUK-Med conducts rigorous, collaborative research to improve humanitarian healthcare. Our studies strengthen clinical decision-making, shape policies, and inform practice across emergencies worldwide. Through partnerships with academic and field organisations, we generate evidence that drives more effective, ethical, and life-saving responses.
Our Research Priorities (2025–2027)
To focus our impact, we’ve defined six key research themes aligned with the most urgent challenges in humanitarian health:
Outbreak Prevention & Immunisation
Emergency & Primary Care in Crises
Mental Health & Psychosocial Support (MHPSS)
Chronic Care & Continuity (NCDs)
Community Engagement & Behaviour Change (RCCE)
