The ANU Humanitarian Health Research Initiative (HHRI) exists to help those in greatest need. It is led by Associate Professor Kamalini Lokuge, a former doctor and medical epidemiologist for Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), the World Health Organisation and the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Kamalini knows that those who live the experience - mothers, children, health workers and teachers - are best placed to identify gaps and deliver solutions. Too often, their voices are ignored when aid is delivered, research undertaken, and policies created.

Their work gives a voice to those best placed to find, and with most to benefit from, a solution.

The team has extensive experience, in countries including Australia, Afghanistan, Darfur, Uganda, Nigeria, Myanmar, South Sudan, Zambia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Papua New Guinea (PNG), Sri Lanka and Indonesia.
