Department of Public Health and Nursing (ISM) is responsible for research within the fields of community medicine, nursing science, general practice and applied public health.

Better public health is the Department’s vision,  and we aim to develop knowledge, skills and solutions that promote good health from a regional, national and global perspective. ISM aims to contribute to knowledge that reduces health disparities and to promote a more equitable distribution of knowledge and resources. Climate issues are among the most important challenges facing modern society, and they will present health challenges as well.

The Department aims to develop knowledge and expertise and to contribute to value creation of high quality for the benefit of health services and public health, as well as to develop new knowledge contributing to a fairer world, in line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals
