Supporting the university
as a transforming force
in global health

CUGH's Board of Directors, committees and Secretariat have collaborated over the last year and a half to develop a set of strategic goals and metrics for the organization. An outline of this along with a covering letter are available here.

We look forward to working with you and our members to implement this plan over the next three years. While we will engage in activities to achieve the stated goals our work will not be confined by this. We will continue to respond nimbly and effectively to address new global health challenges and capitalize on new opportunities.

The College of Public Health is a mini-National Taiwan University itself, with teaching and research activities involving disciplines not only in natural and biological sciences but also in humanities and social sciences. The essence of public health dictates that we are concerned greatly about the health rights of people and pursue the ultimate goal of health for all. Our endeavors have been focused on disease prevention and health promotion, environmental protection and sustainable development, and the operating and management of the health care industry.
