Investigative, Interdisciplinary Global Health Journalism
Geneva is the nerve-center of global health, where public and private interests converge to exert their influence in shaping policy-making. Our journalism takes a critical approach shedding light on global health issues, agendas and positions, unpacking opaque processes and revealing stakeholder intentions and interests.
