Global Health


The University has a proud history of advancing medicine and pioneering discoveries that offer hope and answers to patients, families and society as we confront the world’s toughest health challenges.


By supporting the Global Health Fund, you’ll help us provide our researchers and staff with the state-of-the-art facilities and equipment they need to lead groundbreaking medical discoveries. Your contribution will ensure that the brightest minds come to Glasgow to advance research in critical areas such as cancer, heart disease, dementia, mental health, chronic illness and many more.


Cancer will affect 1 in 2 of us in our lifetime. While investment in research has improved survival rates, Glasgow is committed to remaining at the forefront of these advancements and pushing for even better outcomes. Scotland has the highest cancer rates and poorest outcomes in the UK, coupled with the widest gap in socioeconomic health inequalities in Western Europe—placing our researchers in the ideal location to drive forward this crucial work.


Your support will empower our teams to continue focusing on patient-centered clinical science and understanding the needs of patients and their families while advancing world-leading research that impacts us all.


At the same time, the University of Glasgow’s School of Veterinary Medicine continues to set global standards in animal care and welfare, offering crucial research and clinical studies. Your support of the Vet Fund will help us maintain this legacy while training the next generation of veterinarians.


Glasgow’s medical and veterinary research has long been a beacon of hope, and with your help, our researchers can continue their ambitions to create a healthier tomorrow for everyone—humans and animals alike.
