What We Do

We're adressing current global needs. Neuropsychiatric conditions account for 31% of all disability adjusted life years – the years of expected healthy life lost due to ill-health, disease or premature death. Read more.

Our Work

As communicable diseases are supplanted by non-communicable, chronic, and neuropsychiatric diseases, we're working on the emerging health priorities for the new century. Find out more about our approach, our history and our staff.
