Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS)

The Italian National Institute of Health (ISS) provides scientific evidence and technical support in the field of Public Health. ISS is organized in Departments and National Centres in order to specifically promote Public Health through scientific research, surveillance, control, prevention, communication and training in the different fields of health sciences that include infectious and non-infectious diseases, environment, food and drugs.
Among the ISS Centers, the National Center for Global Health (GLOB) carries out research activities, in both developed and less developed countries, addressing "how to apply" the knowledge of modern medicine and biology to the health of all people with a strategy aimed at contrasting the health inequalities, with particular attention to the most fragile and marginalized populations.
The Center intends to contribute, together with other national and international actors, to fight inequalities in access to health, in Italy and in the world, through basic, clinical and operational research, research on health systems, international cooperation.
The Center is partner of the Project MediLabSecure and is in charge of Public Health activities, to promote early detection and integrated risk assessments of arboviral infections, with a One Health approach. The team is also responsible for operational studies and surveys aimed at guiding the implementation.
