The Institute of Health Governance (IHG) at the Asian School of Governance is dedicated to strengthening health systems leadership and governance across Asia. We provide cutting-edge training, research, and capacity-building programs for health professionals, policymakers, and stakeholders engaged in transforming health governance at local, national, and regional levels. Our mission is to foster adaptive leadership, evidence-based policymaking, and multisectoral collaboration to drive sustainable health outcomes.

We integrate adaptive leadership, problem-driven iterative adaptation (PDIA), and public-private partnerships (PPP) into our curriculum, ensuring that participants develop the capacity to lead health reforms effectively.
