Centre for Global Health and Health Equity Sepali Guruge (director) Mandana Vahabi (co‑director) Inequalities relating to health comprise one of the fundamental challenges facing health-care planners and providers. The fact is, no country on earth has fully succeeded in guaranteeing universal health care for all its citizens. Variables such as socioeconomic status, gender, race, language and sexuality all too often – even in Canada – mean peoples’ health status and access to health care frequently differ significantly. Informed by principles of equity, social justice and health as a human right, the mission of Ryerson’s multidisciplinary Centre for Global Health and Health Equity is to promote greater health equity locally, nationally and globally. Led by Sepali Guruge of the Daphne Cockwell School of Nursing, the centre’s members carry out research and social development projects on a wide spectrum of topics, including: • Refugees’ and immigrants’ health (e.g., resilience among refugee youth). • Women’s health (e.g., violence against women). • Men’s health (e.g., masculinities and health behaviour, prostate cancer). • Children’s health (e.g., commercial sexual exploitation of children). • Health promotion (e.g., food security, health literacy). • Mental health (e.g., policy development). • Older adults’ health (e.g., abuse in institutional care settings). Project funding comes from several organizations, including the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Canadian International Development Agency and the International Development Research Centre. Centre members currently collaborate with individuals and groups on five continents; for example, in the United States, Honduras, El Salvador, France, England, Brazil, India, Sri Lanka, China, Iran, Ethiopia and South Africa. www.ryerson.ca/globalhealth Pulse Health Research and Innovation at Ryerson 5  http://www.ryerson.ca/globalhealth
