Health
Good health is both a fundamental element of the quality of life and a key input for outcomes such as longevity, productivity, and educational attainment. Poor population health heavily burdens many low- and middle-income countries, yet access to quality health care remains limited and highly unequal. Progress in these critical areas can improve outcomes across a broad range of development goals. King Center-supported research strives to identify effective policies and programs to ensure healthy lives and well-being for all.
