Singapore established Global Centre for Asian Women’s Health (GloW) at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine). A major multi-disciplinary research centre based in Asia, running a population health programme, GloW focuses specifically on the health and well-being of Asian women worldwide, through a holistic and systematic approach to health, in relation to emerging public and family concerns.

Established under the auspices of NUS Medicine, GloW conducts cutting-edge research on the health and well-being of women and their families and aims to narrow the gaps between research, policy and practice.

“At GloW, we strive to build a multi-disciplinary population health platform to explore cutting- edge research, engage in thought-provoking discussions, and form global collaborations that address major health problems that concern women. Our ultimate mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of women in this and future generations in Asia and beyond,” said Prof Zhang Cuilin, Founding Director of GloW.
