Our Society’s mission is to promote global health equity, focusing on strategies that support a life course approach to long-term health. Ours is a coordinated strategy that explores the scientific basis, and the social and environmental context of the relationships between early human development and health and disease risk later in life. We are determined to improve the condition of global communities and populations challenged with the burden of health inequity. Your generosity will support our research, education and advocacy work to develop and apply public health strategies to create a healthy start to life and reduce the risk of chronic disease.
