The Office of Transformative Global Health (OTGH) aims to jointly develop, implement, and sustain collaborative programs for health professionals, and allied professionals, in Latin America and the Caribbean, South Asia and Africa, as well as in Ontario; with a primary focus on five major themes: 

• the fundamental role of primary health care;
• wide health inequities within and between countries;
• pro-recovery approaches (including the active prevention of stigma/discrimination);
• transformative technological innovations; and,
• sustainable impacts on practice.

The main objective is to strengthen the capacity of partners in the developing world to provide improved care and more effectively evaluate outcomes of mental health and addictions service systems.
