Our Regional Presence

We operate across 47 countries—primarily in Asia (see Global Health Project Registry )—with a strong presence through Regional Collaborating Centres (RCCs) in Medan (Indonesia), Jaffna (Sri Lanka) and Hanoi (Vietnam).

A cornerstone of our work, these RCCs embody the collaboration between our institute and leading institutions across Asia. They serve as hubs for knowledge exchange and joint innovation, driving evidence-based solutions to urgent global health challenges.

Most critically, RCCs contribute to building stronger, more resilient healthcare systems across the region.

Institutional partnerships

Our RCCs anchor SDGHI’s regional work in three countries:

Medan, Indonesia

Universitas Sumatera Utara

Jaffna, Sri Lanka
