GLORI | GLORI

The Global Research Institute (GLORI Foundation) explores solutions to a whole range of globally significant health and social issues such as gender-based violence, HIV/AIDS, COVID, STIs, TB, dementia and other issues specific to elderly population, Hepatitis C, drug use, mental health and others where health status somehow correlates with stigma and discrimination. Health systems reform is also a focus of the GLORI Foundation, as is the promotion of policies and programs to improve access to medical services and improved health outcomes. At GLORI, we do not conduct surveys merely to gather statistics – we use data to inform changes, improve well-being, and promote democracy.
