Research hubs

The APO's Research Hubs play a critical role in its research output

The three hubs together with their affiliated national lead institutions comprise 31 different institutions, spanning from Mongolia to the Pacific Islands, from Japan to Sri Lanka.

This rich network of local knowledge combined with a regional perspective is what makes the APO’s Research Hubs so unique, relevant and influential.

Institute for Health Policy, Sri Lanka

The IHP is a leading research centre in the areas of health systems, health financing, health policy and health equity research. It works extensively across the Asia-Pacific region, including South Asia, South-East Asia and the Pacific.

International Health Policy Program, based in Thailand

The IHHP conducts research on national health priorities related to health systems and policies in Thailand and around the Asia-Pacific region. The programme works closely with 19 institutes from five countries: Bangladesh, China, Japan, Republic of Korea, and Thailand.

Collaboration between the School of Population Health, University of Queensland and the Nossal Institute at the University of Melbourne, Australia

The UQ-NI Research Hub combines the strengths of two research institutions with complementary expertise in the Asia Pacific region. The two institutions have a history of collaboration through the AusAID Knowledge Hubs for Health Initiative.
